GPS integration available on Google Earth Plus

Google Maps has been well recieved, and Google Earth probably won't disappoint. Google Earth launched in beta recently with the ability to view satellite images of anywhere on the planet. In the basic (free) version you can fly into an address from space, tilt and rotate to view things in 3-D. It can also provide driving directions and you can add your own annotations. With the Plus version ($20/year), Google Earth adds GPS support and will read tracks and waypoints from the GPS. The Plus version also adds: Higher resolution printing, better annotation tools and a data importer that reads addresses form a csv file. Because the applicaiton pulls data down as you work, a broadband connection is needed. Google is limiting the downloads for the application so if you can't get a copy, keep checking back, it will open soon. Click here for the Google Earth Homepage.
