After hearing about this initiative I will download it. It's nice to see things like this and maybe ushmm and Google can manage to make some parts of the world a better place than they are now. What you're describing about it sounds interesting. Actually I did download it as I wrote this post, but haven't installed it yet. I hadn't realized Google added a browser onto it. I kept thinking of it as something like Google Maps, but it sounds like it's more. You know I haven’t downloaded Google Earth so I’m not sure what it’s like.

The app was great to begin with, but this extra layer of context makes it so much more useful. The Economist reported that Iraqis are using Google Earth to plan escape routes as the violence approaches. Google Earth has to be one of the coolest software inventions of the century.
