Google Earth version 6 was released Monday giving new meaning to up close and personal. The upgrade adds integrated Street Views into Google Earth along with a new emphasis on trees. More than 50 species of trees have been added to Google Earth's 3D models of places.
Also with this latest version of Earth, Google has added a new character to the software's repertoire, Pegman. Similar to the way Google Maps works, when looking at an aerial view of a location, areas with Street Views available are outlined in blue on the map. You can drag Pegman to any blue area and you'll be immediately taken to a street level view of that location. Better yet, you can "walk" down streets by using the scroll wheel on a mouse or the cursor keys on a keyboard.
