DESCRIPTION
Google Earth Plug-in... Google Earth... in your browser... on your Mac!

Google Earth Plug-in and its JavaScript API let you embed Google Earth, a true 3D digital globe, into your web pages. Using the API you can draw markers and lines, drape images over the terrain, add 3D models, or load KML files, allowing you to build sophisticated 3D map applications. If you have an existing Maps API site, you can 3D-enable your page with as little as one line of code.

How do I start?

  1. Check out some Google Earth Plug-in examples and visit the demo gallery.
  2. Sign up for a Google Maps API key.
  3. Read the Google Earth API Developer's Guide.
  4. Read the Google Earth API Reference.

      SCOTTYO  At least they provide a rev number, but without associated notes (which MacUpdate invariably posts, when/if they're available, good stuff!) I'm not inclined to install it. Going to the MacUpdate-listed developer website, I see no sign of release notes; matter of fact, this appears to be a developer-oriented site, everything focussed on the API. Not really suitable for general users.

      C'mon Google, tell us more about what's happening with this plugin!
