Google Earth general release

Okay, so now we know what those google folks have been spending all
that IPO cash on. Google Earth is the next istallment of Googles GIS
suite. If you haven’t already seen it, imagine Google Maps with the
satellite images rendered in lovely panable, zoomable tiltable 3D along
with all the metadata you can shake a big fat stick at. Add elevation
data and a mini app which lets you set your own points of interest and
you and you have a truly awesome map tool. more
