It also helps that Google Earth is a free program for most people to use. You can use your mouse and a few buttons on the screen to navigate around the globe. One reason is that the program has a very simple, accessible and intuitive interface. Google Earth has become an incredibly popular program with regular people, media outlets and the government. This standalone program relies on Google Internet servers in order to download and display various images of the world and skies. Note: The Google Earth API has been deprecated as of December 12th, 2014 so this functionality would need to be created using the Google Maps V3 API.Google Earth is a program that allows you to explore the planet, the stars and even certain celestial bodies using real satellite imagery and photographs. The code for the example is available here. Visit and search for "Earth Pad" to jump to that application. You'll want to run the app in multiple web browser windows and/or different web browsers. Note when you start the Earth Pad app it requests permission to access your Google Account and your email address to allow sharing a session. Users can create placemarks, which can then be seen by all the other users in the session, and even chat.
Earth Pad allows multiple users to share the same Earth viewing experience when one user changes the view, it updates for the others.
Here is the description of an example app in the Google Earth API Demo Gallery that may provide a starting place:Įarth Pad is an App Engine app that allows multiple users to collaboratively browse the globe. You can implement sharing using the Google Earth API and share Google Earth instances running in the web browser. Syncing multiple Google Earth desktop clients is possible if for example you update content on a server and have a NetworkLink (with auto-refresh enabled) load the shared KML in the clients but interactively sharing changes made in Google Earth clients with each other is not so easily done.
