This is the new Version of XBMC Earth.
XBMC Earth is now a Google Maps and a Microsoft Virtual Earth Client for XBMC.
You are able to view the satelite, the hybrid and the street Map from both source GoogleMaps and also MS Virtual Earth.
You can just browse through the map or you can search for a Location like a city or even for a service in a city. Like "Hamburg, Pizza"
If there is only one result the map is centered over the result an zooms to the location.
Is there more than one result a overview is shwon and you can zoom to a location by selecting one of the results
It is also possible to plan a route between to locations. The planed route will be displayed as a Line on the map and you will also have a result list. When you select one of the results the map will zoom to the street.
When you hit more there a 3 favorite Buttons where you can save your favorite views. Just go to your Favorite Place and use the set button to save this view.
Since XBMC is a MediaCenter the script has some geotagged media features. You can search for Panramio, Flickr and Locr Pictures. Just browse the map to any location and then hit one of the Picture Services. The Result is shown on the Map as Thumbnails.
Selct a Image and you will get a larger view. Inside this you can use the left an right buttons to get forward or backwards.
You can also search for the next 20 results. By hitting this entry in the resultlist.
To get some video inside of the script you can search for geotagged youtube videos. Just hit one of the resultvideos and the video is started. You can toggle between fullscreen and windowed.
Sometimes the query results of youtube are really bad. So the video has no relevance to the selected place ;-((
The Webcams button brings Live content inside the script. Hit the Webcams button to see some Webcams of your area.
To get a weather forecast for the shown area just hit weather.
The Script has 2 language Files at the moment English and - since im a german boy - German.
All Webresults are shown in English or in German if localization is possible.
I have tested the script on Windows and on the Xbox (which is still my favorite client for xbmc)
I have no experience with the linux or the MacOS Version.
How to use:
This is still a beta Version. So please test the script and feel free to reply with bugs and or comments.
You can download the script here: XBMC Earth 0.5
