Google Earth 4.0 Better Zoom

Hey everybody,

Just thought I'd post that Google Earth 4.0 beta was released today and it promises better resolution and zoom. Here's a clip from the press release:

MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif.--Google unveiled on Monday a new version of its Google Earth application, which features greater coverage and higher resolution, even showing people walking in some locations--detail you get with aerial photography and not usually satellites.


Happy Trails,
Shayne

Thank you for the heads up.

Ah.. several more hours of my life I won't get back.

Thanks for the heads up. I use Google earth to get a good look at areas that I will be visiting. I even sent my daughter a picture of the building her "flat" is in while she is living in London for the summer. Made me feel better that she was in a decent neighborhood (the Queen is only a few blocks away).

Seems like the Version 4 no longer allows you to draw paths, unless you upgrade to plus.... Looks like that will be my next piece of "gear"

Worldwind vs. GOOGLE

I have been playing around with the NASA program. Does the Google program have better resolution, does anyone know?
