Google Earth for the iPhone and iPod Touch is available for free in 18 languages and 22 countries through the iTunes App Store, Google said in a posting on the official blog of the Mountain View, California-based company.<\/p>\n
“With just a swipe of your finger you can fly from Peoria to Paris to Papua New Guinea, or anywhere in between,” the posting said.<\/p>\n
“It may be small, but it brings all the power of Google Earth to the palm of your hand, including all of the same global imagery and 3D terrain,” it added.<\/p>\n
Just by touching the screen, a user can move from point to point around the world, zooming in or out by pinching the screen and tilting the device to get a 3D view of mountainous terrain.<\/p>\n
The “My Location” feature instantly shows a user\u2019s real world location while Google Local Search helps locate nearby places, businesses and landmarks.<\/p>\n
More than eight million photos pictures of landmarks and scenery are integrated into the phone allowing users to take a “virtual tour” of the world.<\/p>\n
The Google Earth application also includes links to Wikipedia articles.<\/p>\n
