Historic imagery with timeline
Ocean layer - cities beneath the sea anyone

Oh yes and Google Mars

Hey, thanks!

(Darn Google; this historic layer with timeline was my idea - at least mine, too!)

Some of the plus/pro features were expectable to come into the free version as they stopped GE Plus recently. Good to hear it's true.

I'm using Chrome. That's funny.
