More News From the Big G

Google launched Google Earth today - it's a satellite imagery based mapping product that lets you zoom in on satellite images of buildings, streets, neighborhoods, etc. I saw a demo and it's pretty amazing. As usual with Google gadgets, it's for Windows only. Here are the full specs from the press release:

· Free software download available at http://earth.google.com
· 3D buildings in major cities across the United States
· 3D terrain showing mountains, valleys, and canyons around the world
· Integrated Google Local search to find local information such as
hotels, restaurants, schools, parks, and transportation
· Fast, dynamic navigation
· Video playback of driving directions
· Tilt, rotate, and activate 3D terrain and buildings for a different
perspective on a location
· Easy creation and sharing of annotations among users
