Airlines to Be Included in Google Earth KLM GlobeAssistant for Google Earth released	By Bogdan Popa, Security and Search Engines Editor 2nd of March 2007, 15:05 GMT Adjust text size:


Google Earth is surely one of the most popular downloadable applications provided by Google that represents the main offline solution to view maps and other imagery captured directly from the satellites. The product is updated periodically, maybe a little too often, because the search giant is announcing new features almost every week. The last improvement added to Google Earth was announced yesterday when the Google team posted a message on the program's forum to mention all the improvements. The changes concern especially detailed imagery or locations included in the application so Google Earth is now even more efficient. Today, PR Web reported in a press release that KLM launched KLM GlobeAssistant for Google Earth, a useful tool that allows users to view airlines and other flight information with the help of the downloadable utility designed by the search giant. "It's an easy to use tool to show flight destinations with corresponding airfares to travellers who are planning their holiday or business trip. KLM has used the EarthConnector of GlobeAssistant to not only display destinations, but also integrated Google Earth directly with their booking engine. This makes it possible to book the flight directly simply by selecting the airport of your choice. Next steps are to show real-time flight information and possible flight delays; making Google Earth not only a travel planning tool, but also a travel news dashboard," the publication reported. Remember the interoperability with Google SketchUp? That was surely one of the main updates ever made for Google Earth because it allows users to design their own 3D models of buildings, streets and even cities and include them into the downloadable application. At this time, there are a lot of drawings, all of them being available on the Google Warehouse website.
