Google Earth Plug-in and its JavaScript API let you embed Google Earth, a true 3D digital globe, into your web pages. Using the API you can draw markers and lines, drape images over the terrain, add 3D models, or load KML files, allowing you to build sophisticated 3D map applications. If you have an existing Maps API site, you can 3D-enable your page with as little as one line of code.
How do I start?

Be the first to recommend a similar software title.
Plugin still does not work in Safari (64 bit mode). The error message when using 64 bit still has not been changed to something useful. To use the plugin with the latest Safari in Snow Leopard you quit Safari, go to the app itself and Get Info then select the checkbox "Open in 32-bit mode". Of course you are losing the benefit of Safari in 64-bit mode.
This ad on is pretty much a memory hog on my MBP, 2.66ghz with 6 gigs of RAM.
Yup my fans are spinning up and activity monitor shows this is maxing things out.
Even VMFusion with Win 7 doesn't do that.
Also, and this is a big one, this also wants you to install Google Updater the
hidden update, who knows what it is sending out piece of garbage.
Sorry google not using any of your software till that, Google Updater is
removed (and yes I did remove that against the EULA)
At least they provide a rev number, but without associated notes (which MacUpdate invariably posts, when/if they're available, good stuff!) I'm not inclined to install it. Going to the MacUpdate-listed developer website, I see no sign of release notes; matter of fact, this appears to be a developer-oriented site, everything focussed on the API. Not really suitable for general users.
C'mon Google, tell us more about what's happening with this plugin!

Delete the contents of this folder.
~/Library/Google/GoogleSoftwareUpdate
Then lock the folder. It can't reinstall itself after that.
