Google Earth API for Google Maps v3

This library integrates the Google Earth API, and will render most map overlays appropriately.

To initialize the Earth API, just instantiate a new GoogleEarth object, passing your map to it. Here is the simplest case of a map with no overlays:

    var myOptions = {
      zoom: 4,
      center: new google.maps.LatLng(48.25, 11.00),
      mapTypeId: google.maps.MapTypeId.ROADMAP
    };
    var map = new google.maps.Map(document.getElementById('map'), myOptions);
    var ge = new GoogleEarth(map);
    

The current version of this library also supports a number of different overlays and layers. If you add any of the following to your map, they will also be displayed in Earth: Marker, InfoWindow, Polyline, Polygon, Rectangle, Circle, GroundOverlay and KmlLayer.

For an example that makes use of all these, check out earth.html.
