After fiddling around with Google maps, you now have the option to "swipe your finger and fly from Peoria to Paris, or anywhere in between" on your iPhone -- as Google puts it. Google has just introduced an iPhone version of its popular Google Earth application. The latest blog post on the Google blog has revealed some of the cool features of the application which is available starting today!
The application looks and feels virtually the same as its PC/Mac counterpart and is also compatible with the iPod touch. Having used it briefly, it is a breeze to use with the familiar finger inputs; pinch or double tap to zoom in and double tap with two fingers to zoom out.
The feature highlights include:
•Tilt function to "adjust" your view to explore mountainous terrain
• Panoramio photo layer and Wikipedia Geo articles enabled by default. (You can turn this and the wikipedia feature off)
•"Location" feature to fly to the current location
• Search functionality.
Available in 18 languages and 22 countries, the application is yours for free. Head to the app store in iTunes to download! Its worth a download even in a 3G-less environment and works pretty well -- although it might take a while to download.
