Keyhole used to charge either a monthly or yearly fee for access to the service (can&#8217;t remember the price). What Google Earth does is provide a virtual earth made up of satellite images that you can navigate, zoom, search, fly, rotate, and simply explore. It&#8217;s really fun to play with! They&#8217;ve also added (to certain cities) 3D buildings that add depth to the maps. If you have a chance (and a fast computer with a good graphics card) give <a href=\"http:\/\/earth.google.com\">Google Earth<\/a> a download&#8230; it&#8217;ll keep you busy for a while just looking around.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Google released their &#8220;Google Earth&#8221; tool today.
