Google Earth and Gigapixel Images

August 24th, 2007

Talking about Gigapixel Images, it looks like there is a new feature in Google Earth that incorporates photos into the Earth Environment.

You can try it for yourself by switching on the “Gigapxl Photos” layer beneath the “Featured Content” layer. This will show placemarks for the available locations with gigapixel images.

There’s a sample video showing the feature in action

and an accompanying article on the Google Earth Blog here
