Google Earth is a true 3D globe, and can tilt, pan, and zoom to make an impressive presentation. This demo is commercial points of interest (POIs) in Catalaonia.

You need the Google Earth plugin. The browser will warn you and will install it if necessary.
Try out some of the presets for a great demo of what a good camera angle can do.
- Overlay your commercial points of interest (POIs) in a fabulous 3D globe. Give your advertisers the attention they deserve.
- The overlays are KML files, which could be static files, generated dynamically from a database, or files built from a database when changes are made.
- The list of layers could be dynamically generated from a XML file, which is generated from a database by an admin tool. Adding a new category of POIs causes it to appear on the map, without editing HTML and writing new layer definitions. For this demo, a predefined set of layers is used.
- The concept of "presets" to zoom to a specific location is also fairly flexible. The list of presets could be stored in a database and loaded at runtime, or a preset could be built from search results.
- Iconography could be defined by default for a layer, and overridden for any specific POI. This could tie in with a concept of "premium" advertisers with special or custom icons.
- The language here is Catalan. We also do language-sensitive apps, allowing you to load alternate KMLs, alternate labels for the buttons, etc. in other languages. This takes more work, but fits well if you have an international audience.
