Google Earth Updated To v8.0 With New 3D Rendering Tech, Better Maps, And More [APK Download]

Google is rolling out a big update to the Google Earth app, and as usual it’s a staged deployment. Never fear, we are here with an APK download. In this new version (8.0) you’ll find better 3D images, cleaner maps, KML import, and more.

What’s New

Google hasn’t updated the changelog on the Play Store yet, but there’s a whole blog post about Google Earth v8.0. The gist of it is that 3D images will look much better now with the new rendering engine. Roads will also get nicer labels and updated data at the same time as Google Maps going forward. Any KML files you have saved in Drive can also be imported into Earth directly, which is neat.
