Google Earth plugin...

No, no... not the_plugin_that_shall_not_be_named

Google goes the Virtual Earth and WWJ way - now they have a browser-based virtual globe.

Seems much faster and responsive than WWJ, but it is quite bugged and can freeze the browser for a while.

Check this out http://www.google.com/earth/plugin/examples/milktruck/ something like WWJ Disti F16 simulator

Is it possible to use the new api with WW?

Is there any way to use the new api Google has issued with this plugin and use the Google Earth images as a layer in WorldWind?

[bull]

Probably quite easily, but Google would sue anyone who did, trust me Google does not want GE/GM imagery in WW ever, others have tryed and even asked politely, the responses were not so polite.

google api

Isn't the point of Google issuing this new api so that we can create mashups and work with their data?

I'll take a look at the licensing/terms of use for the api. Has anyone else looked again in a new point in time since the API was released recently?

I would love to help implement this if it's possible to do without big brother G putting the slapdown on us.

URL for api

Here's the api I'm looking at:

http://earth.google.com/comapi/index.html

Is this the same api people used in the past and got in trouble?

[withak]

We didn't use the api in the past, just requested tiles directly from google's server.

Using GE imagery as a layer in WW means no API.
You can make a webpage with embedded GE plugin and open it with WW browser - that should be legal; maybe you can embed GE window inside WW... but there is no way to blend GE with WW or use the data inside WW without using the GE code

[Syris3000]

Anyone happen to have that google layer code? I have a private Google Earth Fusion Server that I would like to hook up to WW Java... since there is no connection to the real GE servers there should be no problem but i cant seem to connect to it... :(

Google maps now supports the Earth type view on their website.

Google Earth plugin is an extension for Internet Explorer and Firefox that displays the contents of pages that have integrated Google Earth which should not be confused with Google Maps. Features like views and buildings in 3D or Google Sky are available on Google Earth plugin.
