Nary a day goes by without another announcement from Google, the search engine titan. First news, then mail, followed by maps, local, TV, video , desktops and even an aborted attempt at making your browsing faster. What else is left but the Earth itself?

That's right, Google Earth. A while back, Google were so impressed with Keyhole, the satellite mapping people, that they bought them. Now we finally see the fruits of that acquisition, which combines satellite images and 3D data of the planet with Google Maps, Google Local, and, for paying subscribers, allows the user to download data to GPS enabled devices.
