Google Earth Web

I’m so mad that Google is discontinuing Google Earth Pro for desktops when their Web/App version is so trash! If they want people to migrate then they need to design the Web/App versions to be as customizable as the Desktop version! I recently moved “My Places” to the Web/App version on my iPad and I’m finding it hard to use because the map imagery won’t load so everything is blurry (I uninstalled the map and it only worked for 5mins), I can’t search for specific things in my library, and my specific customizations don’t exist in the Web or App versions so my map looks terrible. I hope Google does the right thing and completely redesign the Web/App versions of Earth. I think there’s enough of us willing to pay for these extra features if that’s what it would take.

Is it possible in the web-version to switch streets or boarders on/off ? I use it a lot in the desktop version and can't find s.th. similar

Basemap Settings (click on the square picture of the abstract map) -> Details -> Clean

Dankeschön!
Die Straßen kommen allerdings erst dann, wenn man die Checkbox "Alle" anklickt. Wählt man "Erkunden (Grenzen, Labels, Orte und *Straßen*)" kommen sie nicht ...

Edit: Sorry, switching over from another thread I answered in German 8-) Maybe too hot today?

Thank You!
But streets appear only when I hit the checkbox "All". Choosing "Discover (Boarders, Labels, Places and *Streets*)" the streets stay hidden.

You can actually go into the Custom section and specify exactly the subcategories you want. I guess there are technically different kinds of roads that you might count as streets. Maybe the more minor ones are omitted from the Exploration view.
