This unlike Google maps needs to be installed on the computer.
If I get the map somehow on my harddisk, will I be able to use the Google Earth API without internet?

    Even if this is technically feasible, I think the answer is “no,” because the Google Maps/Google Earth APIs Terms of Service say that

    9. License Requirements. Google’s licenses above are subject to your adherence to the following requirements:

        9.1 Free, Public Accessibility to Your Maps API Implementation.

            9.1.1 General Rules.

            (b) Public Access (No Firewall). Your Maps API implementation must not operate (i) only behind
                  a firewall; or (ii) only on an internal network (except during the development and testing
                  phase); or (iii) in a closed community (for example, through invitation-only access).

    Therefore, enabling use the API without an internet connection violates the TOS.
