Earth in Google Maps

Question

I recently came by this website: http://www.google.com/earth/explore/products/earthview.html

"Earth view in Google Maps"

Does this mean, I use the usual Google Maps APIs (V3) to manage the map while being able to render in Earth view? More explanation please?

Answer 1

See this question and the accepted answer:
