Google launched a new version of Google Earth that includes some interesting features:* Support for "textured" 3D buildings using models created with SketchUp, so that the images look more realistic.
* An updated KML format that allows sharing of partial information.
* Google Earth in French, Italian, German, and Spanish.
* Full screen mode now allows searching (press "/" to search).
* Now Google Earth is an universal binary, so it runs natively on both PowerPC- and x86 (Intel)-based Macintosh computer.
* There's a Linux version (available to download here as a bin file).
* Google Earth's index of high-resolution imagery has been increased by four times. One third of the world's population will have sub-meter high-resolution imagery.
* Google Maps API was also updated: you can now geocode addresses and use KML files in Google Maps to share geographic information. There's also Google Maps for Enterprise, that includes enterprise quality support and the ability to integrate maps into intranet applications.

wordmeister, English could be a second language for trek1701, or worst yet he may have been
educated within the American School System. Criticism is one thing, rudeness is another.
Thx trek1701
This it to mordmeister...
ReplyDeleteWho exactly used the word 'realistical'?
Douche Bag =\
I used the word, but I edited the post. English is my second language, if not the third.
ReplyDeleteTo Trek1701: can you send me a mail with some screenshots from Google Earth on your Fedora?
I am also new to linux and tried to install Google earth on my system (AMD64 running Kubuntu 810) using the above instructions provided by trek1701. When i typed "./GoogleEarthLinux.bin" then hit enter to install, it started the process, then returned "......No protocol specified".
ReplyDeleteis this a corrupt file or is it not compatible with my system or something else?
ReplyDeleteThanks, Sam.
File is fine. Message means that other users (root, in this case) are not allow to connect to the X server. Can be temporarily solved by typing 'xhost +'. So:
ReplyDeletebash-3.1$ xhost +
access control disabled, clients can connect from any host
bash-3.1$ su
Password:
bash-3.1# ./GoogleEarthLinux.bin
Verifying archive integrity... All good.

Probably you are running G*.bin as root while logged in as another user.
ReplyDeleteYou run G*.bin as the same user as logged in.
Error: "No protocol specified"
ReplyDeleteYou were probably running G*.bin as root while logged in as another user,in that case run G*.bin as the same user as logged in or use "xhost +" to allow anyone to connect to the display.
Indeed use only "su" in a console, not "su -".
