MapFish and Google Earth Api

I’ve not seen much Google Earth API plugin use that makes me think it is anything more than a way to put 3D pushpins on a webpage, but the latest MapFish demo looks interesting.

There’s a full real-time interaction between MapFish and GE. Translation and rotation of special MapFish tool moves GE camera. Panning and camera tilting on GE side moves MapFish tool.

Just working a little with the JavaScript API and you can do some really neat things. Nothing unique about MapFish in this example, but if you haven’t been following MapFish lately, you need to put it on your radar.
