Google has launched Keyhole 3, rebranded Google Earth, and has dumped the subscription rate (except for a $20/year "plus" version with prettier pictures and a commercial $400 "pro" version) available now at earth.google.com. The program lets you fly around a 3D globe, with overhead satellite photos, tilted 45-degree photos, 3D rendered buildings, and overlays that display everything from roads to hotels to bike routes.
You can compare it with NASA WorldWind (what I’ve been using till now) but with Google’s satellite imagery and more features.
You can read a nice review with screenshots at InsideGoogle.com

Hi All Experts,
Does anyone use google earth images as ground image planes for use in aerial scenes. I know how to stitch them together but are there any tools or tricks to make sure that the images are at the same height, angle and such to make sure they stitch well. I know in the pro version you can get bigger images but im not going to pay for the pro version when i could stitch multiple images together…
