Google Earth Plug-in Puts Google Earth in Your Browser
Posted by Adam Pash at 7:00 AM on May 29, 2008
Windows only: The freeware Google Earth plug-in integrates Google Earth with your web browser, embedding the 3-D glory of Earth in Firefox or Internet Explorer. The results, which you can see in the video above, are impressive. There isn't a ton of Google Earth plug-in integration on the web yet, but check out the samples to understand the possibilities, like switching between Google Maps and Earth on-the-fly. The Google Earth plug-in is Windows only, supports Firefox and Internet Explorer.

I wonder if there's any application of this for my [ww2db.com] website... Perhaps "how the battlefields look today" feature? Hmm...

Although it states it only currently supports version 2 of Firefox, it also works in the current release candidate of Firefox 3

It didn't work for me in Firefox 3 Beta 5 (haven't gone to RC1 at work yet).

They could make some pretty cool games with this. Even their sample game, Monster Milktruck is pretty addictive!

Windows Only. :'(
"The Google Earth Plugin does not yet support this browser.
Supported browsers currently include Firefox 2.x, IE6, and IE7, all only on Windows."

Finally,
the gap between the Google Maps & Google Earth are being brought together with the plugin. FINALLY!
