Google Earth browser plug-in Arrives for Mac

Its been quite a time since the release of Google Earth browser plug-in for Windows. But now Mac OS users should brace themselves for Google Earth plug-in that has been released by Google, for Mac OS X version, that enables users to use its Google Earth software as a browser plug-in.

Although the file size is quite large; a 47MB download which can be taken from the Google Earth API page. The sole reason for such a large file size is that Google has provided a universal binary file that runs on both PowerPC-based and Intel-based Macs.

A Google representative said in a forum posting about the availability of the Mac version.

There are also some other space-saving changes that we may look into later on,” he said, adding that Google plans to mention the software in a forthcoming blog post.

Having the Google Earth API available for the Mac will most likely result in more widespread support of the plug-in for some serious applications.
