Builder Maker  is a Google Earth, Google Maps And Google Aerial Imagery interface to help you create 3D models for Google Earth. But Now Google added  a Street View images to Google Builder Maker.

Now you can grab a Street View image, align it with your building and then use the image as the texture for the building.

watch the video below to see how it works :

Six new cities  added to Building Maker:

Edinburgh, United Kingdom
Florence, Italy
Vienna, Austria
Pittsburgh, PA, United States
Santa Cruz, CA, United States
Riverside, CA, United States

All The cities in Builder Maker have Google’s oblique aerial imagery. It is therefore a pretty good guide to which cities will have aerial views soon added to Google Maps and the Google Maps API.
Here’s a little something I put together to compare Bing Maps Birds Eye view with aerial view in Google Maps:

Google Maps and Google Street View Project Supported by Toyota

Do you know what this picture is about?
Yes … the car is a Prius Hybrid vehicle by Toyota. The camera on top is Google’s. Toyota provided a fleet of Prius cars for Google’s Street View Project now underway in South Africa in preparation for World Cup.
Toyota published the press release announcing the project in September.
“The Prius with its Hybrid Synergy Drive technology was chosen by Google as the vehicle of choice for this project. In the coming weeks the branded Google Prius vehicles will be driving around the country taking photographs of locations in Johannesburg, Cape Town, Pretoria, Port Elizabeth and Durban. Street View, a hugely popular feature of Google Maps, is already available in more than 100 metropolitan areas around the world. It allows users to virtually explore and navigate a neighbourhood through panoramic street-level images. It is also available in Google Earth and on Google Maps for Mobile.”
This project will add considerable impetus to the use of Google Maps… and the move to Local Search.
Can you imagine the power that this application will provide and especially for mobile users?
It’s time I got myself a Smart Phone… don’t know about you?

Explore the Moon in Google Earth

After adding the ocean, the sky, Mars, Google Earth now has imagery from the Moon. Forty years after the Moon landing, you can explore the Earth's natural satellite in 3D.




"Each of the Apollo landing missions is chronicled in detail through pictures and stories. We've even embedded video footage from Spacecraft Films that covers the most well-known moments on the surface. There are also immersive lunar surface panoramas, composed of photos taken by the astronauts themselves, presented for the first time in a 3D Street View style interface," explains Google.
