Google Earth 5.0
by TheBlooger on Feb.04, 2009, under Miscellaneous
I installed the update for Google Earth today, bringing the program to version 5.0 that was made available starting today. What a difference! It feels completely rebuilt with scrolling and zooming smoother as never before.
Ever since I got the 3dConnexion SpaceNavigator, using Google Earth was always a joy. But at times, panning and zooming around could get slightly sluggish and jumpy, although the system is very capable.
With version 5.0, using the SpaceNavigator to pan and zoom rapidly is smooth as milk. No more jumpy frames, no hickups, nothing. Just a very pleasing moving and flying from place to place that makes anyone wanna spend hours discovering the planet only for the sake of the smooth experience.
So if you haven’t done it already, go ahead and update your Google Earth today.
