Google Earth 4 Beta Released - Improved GPS Features
There’s a new Google Earth 4 out in Beta. The improvements include a new clearer user interface, and better 3-D rendering of objects like buildings and landscape detail. From the Google Earth Website: “Seeing buildings in 3D is one of the coolest things about Google Earth. And with this release, this feature is even better. For the first time, we support "textured" 3D buildings, meaning the bricks look like real bricks, the glass like real glass, and overall, the world looks more like, well, the real world. It's just one more step on the path of creating a life-like 3D model of the whole planet.”
Recall that the Google Earth Plus ($20 per year subscription) has GPS support for Garmin and Magellan units; they claim to have improvements in the GPS area as well.
