Google Earth Launches for the iPad

Google has updated its Google Earth application as a universal binary with support for the iPad.

Hold the world in the palm of your hand. With Google Earth for iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch, you can fly to far corners of the planet with just the swipe of a finger. Explore the same global satellite and aerial imagery available in the desktop version of Google Earth, including high-resolution imagery for over half of the world's population and a third of the world's land mass.

With Google Earth, you can:
• Navigate the world with a swipe of your finger
• Swipe with two fingers to adjust your view to see mountainous terrain
• Show the Panoramio layer and browse the millions of geo-located photos from around the world
• View geo-located Wikipedia articles
• Use the Location feature to fly to your current location
• Search for cities, places, and business around the globe with Google Local Search


What's New In This Version:
• Native support for iPad, including full resolution imagery and an iPad-specific look and feel
• Road layer added for iPad and iPhone 3GS

You can download Google Earth from the App Store for free.
