Is it possible to make a PSP App which acts like Google Earth? Where you can zoom in and out etc?

True mate, too true didn't think about file space really.

It's possible. Google Earth only uses a 32mb cache at default, so as long there's space on the mem stick it wouldn't be too bad. The small amount of ram the PSP has should still be enough seeing as the texture maps wouldn't need to be as detailed on the 480x272 screen. But yeah, it'd still be pretty slow unless someone optimised it to hell.. and I don't think there's any source code for it (the linux version is a binary afaik) so it'd be a huge undertaking writing it from scratch.
