Both maps can be set to autoplay or manual. When set on autoplay the map automatically animates from one stage of a candidate's biography on the map to the next. Both Obama and McCain are better travelled than many past presidential candidates so this geographical biography of the candidates works very well.
Both life journeys are also available as Google Gadgets. Download the gadgets to your iGoogle page here:

Does anyone know if the google earth map that Barack Obama referred on his speech in Michigan earlier this week is available somewhere, for the general public to see. He said that a 3D world map with real time searches around the world was shown to him at the Google headquarters....I am hoping that a screen shot or an image may be out somewhere....I know it's a long shot, though. But thanks for any links or ideas.
There is an abstract of the speech here:
