Customize results shown in the map

Moreover, this app allows you to choose from various layers, like places, businesses, panoramio photos, borders and labels, roads, 3D buildings and ocean. But it's recommended to keep it simple and maintain a crisp view of the 3D imagery. Also, this satellite view app allows you to open maps from your Google account or look for Google+ photos with the tagged location. Click on the location and it provides a short description of the city and links to entries in Wikipedia.
