I have a use case that requires offline access to google earth. I know that google earth enterprise offers a disconnected product, however we may not have access to that product and/or google earth enterprise is prohibitively expensive at $25K for a dev license.
I would prefer to use the google earth plugin since I am building an application and would like to use the JS api. Is it possible to host the google earth plugin on my own disconnected server? We would use google earth connected to a standalone offline WMS server for access to imagery.
said another way, can I host the plugin and corresponding javascript on my own server?
I tried to cache Google Earth with a proxy server but I couldn't. Furthermore I think the api is validated every time it loads against Google Servers and doesn't allow offline use
