The RC4 Beta6 of Google Earth is out. Here are a couple of the highlights for the new release:
Faster performance for 3D models
- Improved caching of models
- Support for compressed textures
New icons and icon management for easier navigation
- New icons for pushpins and user palette
- Coincident placemarks/icons now expand into a ‘star-formation’ for disambiguation when you click on them.
Read all the details and download the beta here.
Update 08/15/2008: Apparently, Google likes to remove old pages from their domain, so I’ve removed the link as it was sending you to a 404 on their site.
