Download Google Earth 4.2.0198

Google Earth allows you to zoom in on many cities and landmarks from space and see them in detail. It is also possible to plot a route and print it out or to fly with the ‘hidden’ flight simulator. The developers have released another new version with 4.2.0198 as the version number this time. It fixes a number of bugs from previous 4.2.x releases as can be read in the announcement and list of changes below:

Last Wednesday, Google briefly pushed out a new version of Google Earth 4.2 with some minor bug fixes and one new feature. But, there were some problems and they pulled the update. The update as been re-released as Google Earth v 4.2.0198. This release mostly addresses some bugs from the first release of 4.2 on August 22nd. But, there is one important new feature in this new release: the night sky mode now supports the SpaceNavigator! This means you can fly your way around the astrophotography with the handy SpaceNavigator (a 3D mouse you can buy which also works quite well in the normal mode of Google Earth).
