Another Google Android app has been updated – Google Earth. This is a small maintenance update that primarily fixes problems users with NVidia Tegra 2 devices experienced. As far as I’ve understood, NVidia uses special instructions for the Tegra chip that could make it difficult for the “generic app” to use the full set of features. Guess Google Earth had this problem but luckily the search giant is addressing it now.

In addition, the new version (6.1.0.5671) of the application also comes with “other bug fixes” so it’s suggested to get it even if you don’t have a Tegra 2-based smartphone or tablet. To do so simply hit the link below or — if you already have Google Earth installed — hit the Market icon and update it from there. It will take just a minute or so on a fast Wi-Fi network…
