China will release its own version of Google Earth

Despite the fact that Google puts on the Internet perhaps the most demanded a map of the world, China developed its own online program similar to Google Earth. Service Map World, created with government support, allows users to find free two-and three-dimensional images of cities and landmarks around the world. It is expected that the geological data on the Map World will be updated twice a year, while the Google Earth program is able to do it every few minutes, according to Independent. Create maps of China in the case of Google is in limbo. In May 2010 came a new government order under which all firms engaged in the creation and deployment maps of this country on the Internet must obtain special permission.
