November 06, 2004: Google Buys Keyhole

Google Acquires Keyhole Corp

"With Keyhole, you can fly like a superhero from your computer at home to a street corner somewhere else in the world - or find a local hospital, map a road trip or measure the distance between two points," said Jonathan Rosenberg, vice president, Product Management. "This acquisition gives Google users a powerful new search tool, enabling users to view 3D images of any place on earth as well as tap a rich database of roads, businesses and many other points of interest. Keyhole is a valuable addition to Google's efforts to organize the world's information and make it universally accessible and useful."

Google also announced, effective immediately, a price reduction for Keyhole 2 LT from $69.95 to $29.95.

Very cool intelliot, google continues to amaze me! This is really going to be nice for those who can afford it. The price drop may entice many to give it a try at some point. The 3d mapping/imaging feature alone is worth the price in my opinion.

Google believes that someone is always is in need of information. it is spreading its activity based on this premise.
