Google Earth API

What is the Google Earth API?

The Google Earth Plug-in and its JavaScript API let you embed Google Earth, a true 3D digital globe, into your web pages. Using the API you can draw markers and lines, drape images over the terrain, add 3D models, or load KML files, allowing you to build sophisticated 3D map applications. If you have an existing Maps API site, you can 3D-enable your page with as little as one line of code.

New! The Earth Browser Plug-in is now available on Mac OS X (Intel and PowerPC)!

Note: The Google Earth API and Maps API Terms of Service have been recently updated!

The Google Earth API is a free beta service, available for any web site that is free to consumers. Please see the terms of use for more information.
