- Google Earth now has addresses and directions for Australia, though no roads (as of yet). Doing a search for the place where I used to live Sydney proved spot-on:
(Thanks to Michael Smalley)
- Kurt introduces me to yet another 3D visualization system — IVS3D’s Fledermaus. It seems to be particularly suited to viewing and manipulating bathymetry data, and even comes in Linux and Mac versions.
Kurt also shows off a new feature in the latest version, 6.4 — exporting to KML. His screenshots and explanation are worth a look. (No info on pricing for Fledermaus, so I’m pretty sure I can’t afford it.)
- eZ publish, which I had not heard of before, is a Norwegian open source content-management system. Bjørn Sandvik used it to create KML templates, and you can see the resulting KML-savvy web pages here (in Norwegian).
- Google Earth Blog highlights an innovative way to bring in-world video to Google Earth via clever use of the timeline.
- NASA World Wind 1.4 is due on Valentine’s day. Aw.

Re: Australian addresses. This has been possible for some time – about 6 months. Directions search is now available on maps.google.com.au so hopefully this will flow through to GE soon.
Directions _are_ available now in GE — it told me how to get from Sydney to Perth in an instant.
apologies. Directions are working. Awesome
