Timeline estimates the mode of travel used to move between places and will also show photos taken at that location. Implementation A split-view screenshot of Google Maps. In the bottom half Street Maps is shown, while in the top half Street View is shown. A user can zoom in and out of either of them independently of the zoom level of each.
The distance from a given point of interest to the center of Earth is called the geocentric distance, R = (X 2 + Y 2 + Z 2) 0.5, which is a generalization of the geocentric radius, R 0, not restricted to points on the reference ellipsoid surface.
Touristic locations only: views of some National Parks, beaches and very limited views around Heredia and San Jose. Croatia* Europe: In 2022, Google returned to capture street view images in Croatia after an 11 year hiatus.

Geographical distance or geodetic distance is the distance measured along the surface of the Earth, or the shortest arch length. The formulae in this article calculate distances between points which are defined by geographical coordinates in terms of latitude and longitude .
The haversine formula determines the great-circle distance between two points on a sphere given their longitudes and latitudes. Important in navigation , it is a special case of a more general formula in spherical trigonometry , the law of haversines , that relates the sides and angles of spherical triangles.
Geodesy. The Universal Transverse Mercator ( UTM) is a map projection system for assigning coordinates to locations on the surface of the Earth. Like the traditional method of latitude and longitude, it is a horizontal position representation, which means it ignores altitude and treats the earth surface as a perfect ellipsoid.
The distance between two points 1 degree apart on the same circle of latitude, measured along that circle of latitude, is slightly more than the shortest distance between those points (unless on the equator, where these are equal); the difference is less than 0.6 m (2 ft).
