Google Earth relaunched as free service

by Tim Wilson on June 28th, 2005

Google purchased a company called Keyhole a while ago and everyone has been wondering how they would incorporate the technology. Now we know. They’ve just launched a new version of the Keyhole software called Google Earth which is available for free. This will make a great addition to any geography teacher’s toolkit. Unfortunately, for now, it only runs on Windows. There are also “Plus” and “Pro” versions available that add other features like GPS support.

  1. Hi All Experts,
    Does anyone use google earth images as ground image planes for use in aerial scenes. I know how to stitch them together but are there any tools or tricks to make sure that the images are at the same height, angle and such to make sure they stitch well. I know in the pro version you can get bigger images but im not going to pay for the pro version when i could stitch multiple images together…
