Google Earth browser plug-in launches

And API released for developers

NEWS: 29 May 2008 9:43 GMT by Amy-Mae Elliott

Google has announced the Google Earth API and browser plug-in.

The Google Earth API claims to allows web developers to quickly and easily turn their web pages into 3D map applications with only a few lines of code.

Google says this means developers can "use the Earth as their canvas" and apply their creative vision to a geographically rich, 3D environment, leveraging the same technologies we use in the desktop Google Earth client.

For consumers this means that they will soon see Google Earth in many more places around the web.

As part of the announcement, Google revealed that Google Earth has been downloaded over 400 million times
