Earth Browser- The Former Planet Earth
Earth Browser is referred to as the formerly planet Earth. It is a program that shows you the real-time pictures of the planet earth in a way that you feel that you are actually present there. These pictures indicate cloud cover and day and night regions. You can spin and zoom the globe in any way you wish to explore the globe at its full potential. Another feature of the Earth Browser is that it displays the current weather conditions and five-day weather forecasts of about more than eight hundred cities. This feature makes it an excellent general-purpose weather program. It is an internet software largely as it gets most its resourceful information such as current cloud cover, maps, etc through the internet.
There is a very big integrated web browser inside the earth browser. You will be amazed to know that how easy it makes all the things while you are browsing the geo-websites, dragging, and dropping the KML links in your placemarks folder. It contains many other interesting features that are not included in the Microsoft’s Virtual Earth or the Google Earth. You can create a lot of real time datasets that is created from the NOAA Forecast Models to provide the regions of snowfall, temperature, rainfall, humidity and other such measurements that are animated across the globe with the time slider. Volcanoes, continental US Doppler radar, webcams, earthquakes are many such datasets are all present there as well as animated, too.
Another intuitive and best support to the Earth Browser is the KML support. You will be able to view picture images from the entire world as you zoom in with the help of the Panoramio. You can easily download the KMZ file or the KML file directly in the embedded browser or drag and drop it form the desktop of your computer. The Earth Browser has some extensions to the KML format that enhances the expressiveness of the format to a great extent.
The Earth Browser has been designed as a KML mash up and KML authoring tool. If you wish to save some particular feature from the dataset, all you have to do is just drag the placemark icon from the globe to your placemarks folder/ this will make the copy of the dataset you wish to have. You can easily drag any combination of datasets in the placemark folder on a text editor for making a KML mash up file for either posting it on your website or sharing it with your friends. The third version of the Earth Browser will extend form your desktop to the website. This process will be very easy, as it will be based on the Flash technology. This is a very simple and a seamless method to create and distribute your corporate or personal geospatial content.
The Earth Browser serves as an example of what will be the next in the internet application programs. It is a special purpose program that emphasizes on a particular type of information that is gathered form the sites across the net and is being integrated for you.
