Skyline Combats Google Earth
By: Priyanka Pradhan   |   Jun 17, 2006
Skyline Software Systems, a Virginia based company has added videos to its 3D satellite mapping service, in order to get a better edge over Google earth. According to a recent press release, this turn-key 3D earth online combines massive amounts of high resolution satellite imagery, aerial photography and map data with Skyline's leading 3D visualization technology to deliver a complete 3D web mapping solution.

In addition, Skyline Globe runs inside a regular web-browser, and brings both commercial and government applications to life in industries such as Travel and Tourism, Real Estate, Social Networks, Urban Planning, Entertainment, and Utilities. The site, SkylineGlobe.com will make the mapping service available shortly.

A few days before Google Earth 4 Beta was launched, Skyline Software Systems had tried to halt the release by filing a preliminary injunction against Google. The company claimed Google Earth uses its patented mapping technology in its services and has been eating into its business since its launch in June last year. Although the federal court rejected the injunction, allowing the release of the new version of Google Earth, it has called for the case to go on trial in Boston next year.
