Google is expanding rapidly, that duration they have released a Google Earth application for the iPhone. that application is second to none with very easy controls and all the features you come to expect from such a service.

The Google Earth application is currently available in the app store for free. The application opens to a view of the world with four controls in the corners of the screen: search, compass, info and location buttons. citizens who have used Google Earth in the past may be asking, why is there a compass button? The need for a compass button is to deliver a very different experience on the iPhone with the use of multi-touch controls.

With Google Earth you can view anywhere on a map as you would from above. To zoom in just pinch the screen, to turn the view just place two fingers on the screen and twist. It is obvious that there was a lot of day and work put into that application before it was released. It is quite fast when it comes to rendering and scrolling, controls compose the feel of using Google Earth a pleasant experience. Google has managed to create another application that is one of only a few that I will keep on my iPhone, Google Earth gets a big two thumbs up.
