一本今年刚上架的书，下载了以后还没看完，不过冲着出版社Wiley的名头，就可以知道应该不赖的。粗略感受里面写Maps的比Earth的要多，有不少篇幅详细描述了XML在Google Maps中的应用，当然也少不了用于Earth的KML。适应读者群应该不是一般的Google Maps或Earth的玩家，而是有一定编程基础，并试图自己动手寻找更多乐趣的人们。在Amazon上售价19.79美元。
Google Earth整合Google的本地搜索以及驾车指南两项服务，能够鸟瞰世界，将取代目前的桌面搜索软件。他可以在虚拟世界中如同一只雄鹰在大峡谷中自由飞翔，登陆峡谷顶峰，潜入峡谷深渊。
Google Earth采用的3D地图定位技术能够把Google Map上的最新卫星图片推向一个新水平。用户可以在3D地图上搜索特定区域，放大缩小虚拟图片，然后形成行车指南。此外，Google Earth还精心制作了一个特别选项鸟瞰旅途，让驾车人士的活力油然而生。Google Earth主要通过访问Keyhole的航天和卫星图片扩展数据库来实现这些上述功能。该数据库在上星期进行了更新，它含有美国宇航局提供的大量地形数据，未来还将覆盖更多的地形，涉及田园，荒地等。
Google Maps是 Google 公司提供的地图服务，包括局部详细卫星照片。 2005年 6月20日 ，Google Maps的覆盖范围从原先的 美国 、 英国 及 加拿大 扩大为全球。它能提供两种图：一是量地图；二是不同分辨率的卫星照片( ?? Google Earth 上的卫星照片基本一样)。
