For those familiar with Google products, you might know that Google released Google Maps and Google Earth a few years ago. Every since Google acquired Keyhole, it integrated satellite view in Google Maps. And Today (4/27/2010), Google announces a closer integration Google Maps with Google Earth, the earth view. Earth view offers a true three dimensional perspective to experience building, mountain of any imagery in details and 3D. Since the earth view is built right in the Google Maps, user could switch back cartographic view or satellite view by click on the 'map' or 'satellite' button.
In order to view the map in earth view, you will need to download and install the earth browser plugin. You can download it from the Google Maps itself or this link. However if you already have previously installed Google Earth application, you can start using the earth view in Google maps right away.
