Google Earth APK for Android

The description of Google Earth APK for Android

Google Earth APK puts the whole planet on your Android phone: a 3D globe you can spin, zoom into and explore right down to street level. This is the official, free app from Google LLC, an interactive 3D globe and mapping tool, not a game. Every file on this page is scanned for malware and installed on a real Android device by our editors before publishing, we have done this since 2018. One thing up front, there is no MOD here and nothing to unlock, the app is already free.

What is Google Earth?

Google Earth is a 3D map of the world built from satellite images and aerial photography. You can look at cities, mountains, coastlines and famous landmarks from above, then tilt the view to see terrain and buildings in three dimensions. Think of it as a virtual trip anywhere, no plane ticket needed. Students use it to learn geography, travelers use it to scout a place before they go, and plenty of people just fly around for fun.

Key features

• High-resolution satellite imagery covering most of the planet.
• 3D terrain and buildings in hundreds of cities.
• Street View with 360-degree panoramas at ground level.
• Map layers: roads, borders, place names and user photos.
• Voyager mode, guided tours put together by scientists, storytellers and Google.
• Search for any place, address or set of coordinates.
• Measure distance and area between two or more points.
• Moon and Mars panoramas from the NASA gallery.

Is it free? Do I need a MOD?

Yes, Google Earth is completely free. There are no subscriptions, no paid tiers, no locked features and no hidden charges, every tool in the app is open to everyone from the first launch. So if you spot a "Google Earth MOD APK", "premium" or "unlocked" build somewhere, you can skip it. There is nothing for a MOD to unlock, which means those files add risk without adding a single feature. The version on this page is the plain official app, and that is all you need.

How to download and install Google Earth APK

1. Tap the green Download APK button at the top of this page, the file downloads directly, no registration or SMS.
2. Allow installation from unknown sources for your browser or file manager (Settings → Security).
3. Open the file and tap Install, or grab the same app from Google Play if you prefer.
4. Launch Google Earth and allow location access if you want the "my location" button to work.

The download is around 89 MB and runs on Android 7.0 and up, though the newest builds ask for a higher Android version. First time sideloading? Our APK install guide walks through the same steps with screenshots.

Tips and offline use

• Open Voyager for ready-made tours when you are not sure where to start.
• Tilt and rotate with two fingers to get the full 3D effect on mountains and skylines.
• Type coordinates straight into search to jump to an exact spot.
• Tap the "I'm Feeling Lucky" dice to land on a random place around the world.

One honest note on offline use. Google Earth streams its imagery and 3D data as you move, so you need an internet connection for the maps to load. There is no full offline mode, and if you lose signal the globe stops filling in. Keep that in mind before a trip with no data.

Google Earth vs Google Maps

People mix these two up, but they do different jobs. Google Earth is for exploring and seeing the planet in 3D, spinning the globe, studying terrain, taking a virtual tour. Google Maps is for getting around: directions, live traffic and turn-by-turn navigation. If you want routes, use Maps. If you want to look at the world, Earth is the one. You will find both, plus other utilities, in our tools section, and travelers may like the picks in travel and local too.
