Google Earth goes Universal

Google has not only released a beta (of course) version of Google Earth with loads of juicy new features and enhancements, but it has also gone Universal. I can't find any official information at the Google Earth site about the Universal update, but MacUpdate has a link with all the pertinent info. Also in this Intel-friendly release is:

• SketchUp integration

• embedded Navigator interface (top-right, overlaying the 3D view)

• Localized client to French, German, Italian, Spanish

• Textured 3D Model files can be loaded (Collada XML file format)

• Layers: new Core/All/"Now Enabled" views

• Full screen mode now allows searching (use F-11 on the PC)

• Press the '/' key to access Search from full screen mode

• Scale Legend

• Full resolution imagery across entire screen

• Terrain quality preference setting

• Improved Garmin GPS device support

• Toolbar (replaces navigation panel previously shown below the 3dview)

• Diagonal arrow-key navigation (up arrow + left arrow simultaneously)

• Tristate checkboxes in Places/Layers folders

With all these new goodies, what are you still here for? Go grab a copy! (But be sure to come back here for more news!)
