Here's a great use of the rich David Rumsey map collection. In Second Life, someone has drapped scans of some of the older maps over rendered topography for avatar investigations. See a post on it at the Not Possible IRL blog.
You can read some more at Technology Review, but you can also hear a podcast on the use of the Rumsey maps in Second Life.
I know it's not avatars in Google Earth like I've been waiting for, but it's getting closer.
