About Google Earth Plug-in?
The Google Earth plug-in enables users to navigate and explore geographic data on a 3D globe directly within a web browser. This virtual globe, map, and geographic information program is based on 3D maps, with the inclusion of 3D buildings and structures created by users using SketchUp, a 3D modeling program software. The Google Earth API is a free beta service that allows any website to integrate a version of Google Earth into web pages using the Plug-in and its JavaScript API. While the API does not offer all the features of the full Google Earth application, it enables the development of sophisticated 3D map applications. For users' convenience, the Google Earth Plugin and all other Google plugins are kept up to date on web browsers through the Google Updater Plugin.
