Google earth is a generic, open platform for GIS applications. It's not of the same category as the ESRI applications ArcView or ArcGIS, but the concept is the same. Google Earth's display is much more dynamic and responsive, since more of the work is done on your workstation (rendering, in particular). It provides much more flexible views, including 3-D terrain models and viewing angle controls (Google Maps shows only a fixed viewpoint, i.e., looking straight down). Google Maps is fixed / self-contained and not particularly extensible, though there is the ability to create simple overlays that makes map-based "mash-ups" possible. Google Earth is available for Windows, Mac OS and Linux. > --doug Randall Schulz -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
