Surf Through Google Earth

Engineer David Phillip Oster shows off Earth Surfer, an open source application that allows you to surf through Google Earth.

The software is available at: http://code.google.com/p/earthsurfer/

We are always excited to see clever ways to interact with Google Earth. Note the following similar examples of devices interacting with Google Earth:

What are you doing on YouTube if you hate them so much?

[supertrinko]

if they suck, you should stop using their services, youtube, wikipedia, google search, earth, gmail, maps, docs, blogger, calender, picasa, talk, translate, and a bunch more that i can't remember, oh yea, labs and code

they bring so many products that people use in everyday life, google owns

Okay, so this is what I really want to do, which is to surf- fly over the surface of the planet. Too bad it's just virtual.

that's why they're creating things like this, to bring people onto google earth, now if only google would fund celestia, they could make a space sim on there, and integrate it with google earth, moon and mars
