The Next Step in Google’s Global Conquest

Found on the Google Blog:

Google Earth is Google Maps‘ popular satellite views on steroids. Download the free, but resource-intensive application and get rotatable, 3-D views of locations all over the planet. It also offers some travel-planning options, and I’m curious whether it includes one of my must-have choices: driving directions with multiple stops (not everybody wants to take the interstate, you know).

[Edit] There is a set of Forums for Keyhole users (the technology Google bought to make this all possible), and their answer on the driving directions question seems to be “no” for now.
