Google Earth Goes 4D

Those clever guys at Google have taken their Google Mapping Service (Google Earth) to the next generation.

Google Earth

Just like Google News Archiving. You can now scan images of our wanderous planet dating back to the 1700's Obviousy you cant expect such detail as for the modern day since satellite imagery was only in the imagination of sci-fi writers and the insane. The browsing interface has also been improved and Google Sketchup is now better integrated.

Current it is only in Beta Version but Google Earth Version 4 is set to become a better standard for PC based mapping. You still need to pay for the Pro version for all the advanced premium modules.

So thumbs up again to Google for their Version 4 release of Google Earth, keep it rockin!
