Has anybody noticed the new "Earth" button within the Google Map embed? :cool2:

View 3D images from Google Maps, with full Google Earth controls like tilt, rotate, zoom, and pan. :2thumbs:

The Earth button is within the Google Map itself, next to "Map, Sat, and Ter"

The Tutorial is a vimeo video, possibly your work has it blocked?

Yeah, we're actually talking about that right now in the bigshots request section. It's going to happen soon, we'll just have a few of them test it out first. Unfortunately it will be a completely separate button from the current map button, so there will be two total map buttons on the post editor.
