What if the current view in Google Earth was quickly viewable in other maps, such as those made accessible by FlashEarth? Well, now it is. As you move around the globe a little white arrow follows you around, simple click it to get an approximation of the current view in FlashEarth in a popup balloon.
Total credit to Valery35, for the concept (including a screenshot) on the Google Earth Community. (and to all the people made all the bits that could be pieced together in this 15min hack)
[...] A clever hack for the new version of Google Earth from Valery Hronusov and Barry Hunter of nearby.uk.org. Using the new capability of Google Earth to embed Flash into placemark bubbles, there’s now a KML network link at nearby.uk.org. Open it in Google Earth, and a white arrow will appear in the center of the screen. Click on the arrow, and a bubble will pop up giving you the choice of imagery for that area from a number of different online mapping sites (e.g. Google Maps, Yahoo Maps, Virtual Earth) using Flash Earth: [...]
[...] You’ve probably heard about FlashEarth, the site that lets you compare the satellite imagery offered by Google Maps, Yahoo Maps, Microsoft Virtual Earth, Ask.com and more. Now you can use FlashEarth directly from Google Earth thanks to a layer created by Barry Hunter. “As you move around the globe a little white arrow follows you around, simple click it to get an approximation of the current view in FlashEarth in a popup balloon.” [...]

[...] FlashEarth, the marvelous mashup of online mapping services by Paul Neave from the UK, has broken into new territory, thanks to Valery Hrosunov and Barry Hunter. “What if the current view in Google Earth was quickly viewable in other maps, such as those made accessible by FlashEarth? Well, now it is. As you move around the globe a little white arrow follows you around, simple click it to get an approximation of the current view in FlashEarth in a popup balloon”. # [...]
[...] Owing to the Flash Earth layer thingy published a few days ago, you might notice things a little choppy around here at the moment… my own little corner of the web is not normally this busy. Currently have about 3-4 times the normal traffic levels, which is about 200 visitors at any one time. Just the layer has been downloaded by about 1,200 people and generated about 70,000 hits. So far beating the Cloud and sky layer from a while ago by about x2. [...]
