Google Earth API functionalities
Google Earth API allows developers to insert Google Earth applications with JavaScript code. Google Earth API displays polygons, 3-D models, lines, placemarks and overlays. Google Earth plug-in also supports numerous Google Earth layers including buildings, roads, terrain and borders. It enables scripting and provides great potential for the development of education. Primarily this program was available only for Windows but it is now available for Macintosh as well. Developers, who are creating web pages using Google Earth API, need to obtain Google maps key to identify in a code for these pages.
They also require writing JavaScript code to apply Google Earth API application in their web pages. If you want to run the applications in browser, end users require installing Google Earth plug-in. Though the plug-in runs on operating systems such as Macintosh and Windows, it does not run on Linux. Google Earth allows people fly across a 3-D view of our world. You can even add Google Earth view to Google maps using JavaScript coding.

The program Google Earth is a 3-D map of our world, which allows people to search maps of particular areas. This program provides an array of new aspects to the research. Google Earth is mainly utilized as a virtual globe, which can relocate the satellite imagery of varying resolution.
Google Earth also allows users to visit beautiful cities of our world and well-known structures like hills, valleys, mountains and roads virtually. Google Earth release in 2006 gave birth to public interest of geospatial data and applications. People are using this technology broadly so that they can navigate their own data and make it available on Internet to view via sources like Blogs and BBS.
Google Earth also allows users to search any business address within seconds. Just enter coordinates and use your mouse to browse to any place of our earth. You are also able to view 3-D buildings as well as structures such as mountains and rivers easily. Google Earth Pro is also useful that has the ability of annotating maps with polygons.
