Google Earth gets overlay search
By
Google has created a searchable index of Google Earth data files, a feature that should make it easier for users to find and adopt third-party overlays for this popular mapping application.
“Users can now search through all of the world’s KML files, making the millions of Google Earth layers on the Web instantly accessible for geobrowsing and exploration,” wrote Chikai Ohazama, a Google Earth product manager in an official company blog. Google expects to later extend this capability to its mapping Web site Google Maps, Ohazama wrote.
