Google Earth for iPhone Now Available
Posted on October 27th, 2008
Google Earth has hit the iPhone, and while we can’t say the graphics performance of this first version will knock your socks off, porting this popular application to the iPhone is a welcome sight.
Features include GPS support, multitouch zoom and rotation, (somewhat spotty) accelerometer-based tilt support for terrain view, Wikipedia and Panoramio location-based photo integration and more. We used the Google Earth iPhone app to view our office, Wikipedia entries about our city, and even searched for a satellite view of Crater Lake National Park.
Version 1.0 of Google Earth for iPhone is buggy (our test version crashed three times in twenty minutes), but we expect to see improvements over the coming weeks.
