Like many key members of government organizations, you have probably heard this complaint, "If only every department could access our GIS data more easily, we could get our jobs done much faster." Or perhaps you've heard, "We have so much data, we don't know what to distribute to our users, and our users don't know what to ask for." The Google Earth solution is simple—let all users access all meaningful data. Create a comprehensive view of the earth, and let the user fly where they want, when they want, from their own desktop.
