Download Google Earth

I've recently downloaded Google Earth and have become somewhat of a Google Earth fanatic. Most people don't know what Google Earth is and I want to tell the world.

Wikipedia gives this overview of Google Earth:

Formerly known as Earth Viewer, Google Earth was developed by Keyhole, Inc., a company Google acquired in 2004. The product was renamed Google Earth in 2005 and is currently available for use on personal computers running Mac OS X 10.3.9 and above, and Microsoft Windows 2000 or XP. A Linux version has been announced for 2006. In addition to releasing an updated Keyhole based client, Google also added the satellite imagery from the Earth database to their web based mapping software.

A version of Google Earth for Mac OS X was released and is available for download from the Google Earth website.

The Mac version appears to be stable and complete, with virtually all the same functionality as the original Windows version.

You can download the mac version here:
