Just in case your haven’t heard of – Yeah, the Google Earth has been released for the iPhone and also iPod Touch. Now even on your iPhone, you can use Google Earth to zoom down to see your house. Using the Google Earth on iPhone, you might be able to catch the guy next door peeing on your lovely plants in your garden.
The Google Earth makes use of the multitouch and accelerometer features of the iPhone. You can simply tilt your iPhone, the Google Earth app will adjust accordingly to suit your viewing. You can also “pinch” the screen to zoom into a location. The Google Earth also uses the my location feature – when you load it up, it jumps right to the exact location where you are on the map.
You can also use the location-based service to locate the local businesses. You also get extra layers of information such as hooking you to Panoramio and Wikipedia, to provide you with high-quality photos and information about areas that you’re viewing on the Google Map.
The Google Earth is now available on Apple App store and it’s free. The current version supports only 18 languages, and Google plans to increase it to 22 in the near future. Take a look at the Google Earth in action in the video below.
