Cool: Google Earth

Google just came out with their Google Earth application which is similar of google maps but with some added features. It's actually a remake of the Keyhole application that they bought.

I've been playing with it and it's really fun. It has a lot of cool features like:
  • Driving direction using placemarks
  • Save map with information on it (placemarks, directions)
  • Printing
  • Tons of layer information
  • Overlays
It's just fun to go from one place to the other to see the zooming out and zooming in effect. : )

Here is a little example, this file will zoom in to a stealth fighter. (You need Google Earth installed)
