iPhone App Review-Google Earth
Features:

Wikipedia layer. View geo-located Wikipedia article.
This is the first screen you’ll see when you open up Google Earth. The program takes a little while to calibrate when you first activate it, so be patient. Banging your iPhone against the edge of the table won’t make it load any faster.
There are four icons in each corner of the screen. The top-left one is a search tool that enables you to jump to specific locations (more on that in a bit). The top-right option will point you in the direction of North (it’s possible to rotate your view using a multi-touch gesture, you see).
Bottom-left activates location based services (Google Earth will pinpoint your location and you can then search for locations close to you). Finally, the bottom-right icon takes you to the settings screen.
Okay, let’s try a search. Tap the top-left icon and you’ll be presented with this screen. Type in the name of a location you’d like to visit.
If you’ve enabled location-based services you’ll see that an option to ‘search near me’ will appear
This is handy if you’re looking for a location that shares its name with other places.
Bingo! Google Earth smoothly zooms in on the place in question. It’s our fair capital. Close your eyes and you can practically hear the sound of building contractors hurriedly attempting to get things ready for the next Olympic Games.
My Verdict:
Go for it…it is cool app…n it’s Free…
