You Tube and Google Earth Synchronisation
Using the YouTube API and the Google Earth API it is possible to synchronise a video to the Google Earth plugin. In other words it is possible to create a Google Earth tour to illustrate a YouTube video or it is possible to create a video to provide a narration of a Google Earth tour.
I've created two examples:
In both examples you should ignore the YouTube buttons and just use the buttons underneath the Google Earth plugin.
I think this idea has a lot of potential. One way in which the idea could be used is by geography or architecture lecturers to create a Google Earth tour and then video and synchronise a narration of the tour. I'm sure that other developers will think of more applications for this idea.

I had some musings a few months back about a Gmap/Gearth + Youtube (or similar flv video) mashup; with the price of small, mountable cams and gps track recorders, it'd be an interesting project for offroad mountainbiking - cam and gps on helmet, sync a first-person view of the trail with a satellite track. My coding doesn't go far enough to realise it, but there's a business plan in there somewhere :)
I recorded a part of my Inline-Marathon yesterday with a cam on my helmet and wore a GPS-enabled heartrate tracker. I would like to connect the GPS-track with the recorded video just the way you did in your examples. Is there any information online on how to do that?
alternatively you can use www.vidmap.de for that.
There is also a nice demo with pictures, video and a map: http://apps.vidmap.de/alaska
