Saw the following today. Sounds like in the future instead of flying with a "moving map" it will be "moving photos of the actual terrain".

"For Google Earth, the company is outfitting airplanes with Street View-like camera gear and flying them like high-tech crop dusters all over the earth?s surface to get photographic 3D data to display for users.
Soon, you?ll also be able to use a new feature called ?make available offline? to (duh) make the mapped area available when you?re offline, outside your 3G network, etc."
