Perhaps the easiest way to navigate Google Earth is with the onscreen navigation controls, shown in Figure 20.2. Navigating with the Onscreen Navigation Controls With Google Earth, you can navigate around the 3D globe by using the navigation controls at the top-right corner of the screen by using your mouse or by using select keyboard commands. Of course, since you're doing three-dimensional navigation, complete with panning, tilting, and rotating, the navigation is a bit more complicated than what you have with a flat web-based Google map. All it takes is a mastery of Google Earth's navigation controls. You can zoom in on any location on the planet, and navigate from place to place around the planet. You can use the Time Machine feature on Google Maps to find a collection from a specific date.You start your journey through Google Earth from the 3D view of the globe. Tip: If you publish Street View content where content already exists, Google automatically determines the default collection based on quality, resolution, and recency.

Connections between individual 360 photos appear 4 days or longer from completed publishing.

Data about your location is used to geotag and position your recording on the map. Your recorded video is converted into Street View when you publish it. Make your own Street View collections when you take your camera on a drive, ride, or walk.
