Google Earth Pro offers a fascinating way to explore the world through satellite imagery and terrain maps. However, sometimes you may find the 3D view to be distracting or prefer a more traditional map view. Here's how to turn off the 3D view in Google Earth Pro.

1. Open Google Earth Pro on your computer or mobile device.

2. Once the application is launched, you will see the 3D view of a location.

3. To switch from 3D view to map view, look for the '3D View' button located on the toolbar at the top of the screen. It is represented by a small cube icon.

4. Click on the '3D View' button to toggle the 3D view on and off. When 3D view is turned off, you will see a flat map representation of the selected location.

5. You can also use the keyboard shortcut 'Ctrl+Alt+B' (on Windows) or 'Command+Option+B' (on Mac) to quickly switch between 3D view and map view.

6. Once you have turned off the 3D view, you can navigate the map view using the zoom, pan, and tilt controls to explore the area from a different perspective.

By following these simple steps, you can easily switch from 3D view to map view in Google Earth Pro. Whether you need a more traditional map for navigation or want a different perspective of the world, Google Earth Pro has you covered with its versatile viewing options.
