iPhone users with an interest in geography have a reason to cheer today: a certain search giant has released version 2.0 of Google Earth for iPhone, and the software has been improved in just about every way.

A post on the LatLong Blog announced, "We've added some exciting new features, including the ability to view maps that you create on your desktop computer right from your iPhone, explore the app in new languages, and improved icon selection and performance."

Then the other big difference is that this release of Google Earth for iPhone is available in 13 new languages (for a total of 31).  Impressive.

Still, this development raises an interesting question: Where's Google Earth for Android?  Google Earth for iPhone was first released over a year ago, and for Google to upgrade it prior to acknowledging its own mobile operating system seems odd.  Especially since there is (and has been) a demand.

Ah, well.  The official Google post concluded, "We hope you enjoy our latest release.  Please note that the app will be rolling out around the world over the next twenty-four hours - if you don't see it immediately, be sure to check back soon.  You can download Google Earth for iPhone here."
