New Google Earth Goodness
There is a new set of layers available in Google Earth that I think is especially cool. One can now display any of several historical maps under the usual data layers, place markers, and 3-D objects. This gives it a very SteamPunkish feel. I love it!
By the way, If you haven't looked lately, there is a new version of G.Earth, as well. Other than adding 3-D object drawing to the free version, there's not a lot of important changes, that I have found yet. There are, however, several bits of interface smoothing including changes to the way one can control map movement and tweaks to the overall feel.
If you hadn't guessed, I really like Google Earth.
