Google Earth 4 out of beta
I suppose the camp of Googlians waiting in line for the Stevenote can be forgiven for fleeing the code mines; they recently put the final touches on Google Earth 4, now out of beta.Shiny new features in the Google Earth revision include:
- Higher quality terrain and building textures
- Expanded KML file support, including timestamps and image overlays
- The sleek new UI, designed to stay out of your way as you flit hither and virtually yon
- Polygon annotation, shareable with other users

How did you get the map looking like that - i.e with canada/north america covered in snow and the US mostly brown? - The Image data I have has everything in green.

The new sightseeing tour is neat but when it gets to the Eiffel Tower it takes you to Paris, Texas
