Google Earth is now available on the Apple iPod Touch and 3G iPhone. The Google software is a 3D global imaging application that lets users zoom in or out of a global map. Apple uses touch screen technology which allows users to quickly move across the 3D map.

Google Earth contains more than eight million photos of landmarks and scenery. The geographical software is integrated into the mobile device. The Earth application streams to the Apple iPhone or iPod Touch relatively quickly.

Google Inc released its Google Earth application to run on Apple Inc’s iPhone and iPod Touch. The geographical software streams to the devices while users can use the touch screen technology to move across the 3D map.

Google Earth features 3D map locations from all parts of the world. The software can display photos while users can touch the screen to zoom in and out of street level terrain. The Google application can also display links to Wikipedia articles.

The Google map software is similar to its desktop version of the application. Users can fly around the globe by swiping their finger on the touch screen. Google Earth also has a built-in accelerometer which enables users to tilt their mobile device to see 3D locations from different angles. The accelerometer can be turned on or off in the iPhone’s application control panel.

For the Apple iPhone, a new “Location” icon display shows the current geographical location of the user. The Google Local Search in the software helps users to locate nearby places, business, and landmarks.

Google Earth for the iPhone and iPod Touch is available for free. The application supports 18 languages and 22 countries.
