Google Earth Karachi – a fresh new look
Quick Share:
In the last 5 years or so, Google Earth Karachi had no significant update, despite of the fact that CDGK (City District Government Karachi) had given the city a different look.
But there is good news, Google is updating KARACHI map and recently you can see all major updates (starting with an over-due Nursery flyover map/patch) and almost all changes in last 4 years are now incorporated.
Google has this layered approach when updating maps so places will get more visible and clear with time. Below are some of the screen-shots.
