Given Google's updated end-of-life notice (now stating "Early 2016" rather then "End of 2015") of the Google Earth Plugin, that lends some credence to the hopes there will be a new 2016 javascript API that gives access to the "Earth View" mode.įor my own purposes, I'm still successfully using (at December 2015) the Google Maps Javascript API to Google Earth plugin adapter code that Google published.We are all hoping that there will be an upcoming Google Maps Javascript API V4 in 2016 that would provide access to the new Maps Engine Lite, and therefore access to the "Earth View" mode.
