Google Earth, meet the browser.

Maybe we’ll sneak this into the release where we add Google Street View to our details pages…

Google also recently announced, Love My Maps? Use its Line and Shape Editing in your API Apps!

Good for Google for continually expanding their API.

Update: After installing the plugin which took way longer than expected (even though you download the plugin it needs to connect back to Google to download more stuff) I’m not too impressed with this at all. On my 2ghz Intel laptop with 3.25 GB or RAM it runs incredibly slow. So slow that my mouse cursor doesn’t even move smoothly over the Google Earth div and music playback gets choppy.

I think the combination of traditional aerial maps + Virtual Earth Bird’s eye + Google Street View is plenty of imagery. Google Earth doesn’t add anything to that equation.
