Digital Urban: Using Google Earth as a Panorama Viewer: "
While capturing screengrabs for our tutorial on creating panoramas from Google Earth we got thinking that you could use the Earth itself as a panoramic image viewer.
All of our panoramas on the blog cover a 360x180 degree field of view - ie a sphere. By adding a new Google Earth overlay you can load a panoramic image and wrap it around the globe, thus allowing you to use the Earth as a viewer.
