How would you like a Google Earth like application for your new Palm? Sure there is one. It’s called PalmEarth and now we have a version 2.0 to check out. PalmEarth will be particularly useful when you are traveling. Either for fun or work related, getting to your new destinations and enjoying what they have to offer will be so much easier with this Palm application. Not to mention fun.

PalmEarth 2.0 will show you an interactive 3D Earth on your Palm. There are 36,000 cities mapped so you won’t have any trouble finding any large city in the world. You can measure distances, get local time, sunrise and sunset time and more.
