Thank amigo yeah trying to compile some for GCCA but I need I ideally any that have used Earth rather than maps. I know this would massively effect UXD but interested to see if there are any out there. My searches have not revealed anything either.

@Kult thanks but looking for Google Earth rather than Google maps
there seems to be an apparent lack is this just solely because of usability issues? It just strikes be as so backward when companies ask for bespoke animated globes to be produced when you could just use Google earth and map a layer over the top no?? I am not a developer so I imagine there are many concerns raised in doing this but even still I am surprised I have not yet seen one example of this, anyone can enlighten me???

Well, fuck me.
- < it's only been out for over two bloody years. I've not seen hide nor hare of it on't webs.detritus
- So is this a case of usability then that explains lack of uptake?Kidswift
- prolly since it can't run natively in the browser. i've incorporated it into a few site though with limited successfugged
- @fugged are there any sites you have done I can have a butchers at?Kidswift
- unfortunately no. A few were prototypes, the others have restricted access.fugged

I know but yet no one is really using it as such as a main portal which really surprises me.

bumped for the last time because 1. I can't believe its not butter is actually believably tastes not of butter and 2. I can't believe that the sum total of QBN has failed to find a site centred around google earth
