Here are some New Examples

Taken from
http://www.google.com/earth/plugin/examples/options/
Allows you to define a location and set different option (Grid, Navigation, Status Bar etc)
What is required?
Not much - but there is a 3D plugin needed to view the new 3D Earth
The Free Plugin is needed if you want to view the 3D Earth.
That's it, enjoy...
For Fun Test out the Monster Milk Cart (Fast PC/Mac with a Fast Internet Connection needed when going super fast)

Microsoft Windows only. So I can only run it on the one machine which also lost all text labels in Google Earth. Lovely.
This isn't an amazingly cool application for this, but it does provide an example of how to cycle though a set of placemarks loaded from a KML file:
Footsteps of the Buddha (geo-biography).
Now if only the full Google Earth application supported Javascript....
(Also see main FotB web site and Blog.)
sweet!
