I think you're thinking of Google Earth, and wasn't that story made up for a movie?
edit: wiki says[1] there actually was a lawsuit the miniseries was based on, but the accuser lost because they had actually taken someone else's ideas for Terravision and then turned around and patented it?

- omgomgomgomg 4y agoI would not say it was made up, though. Google engaged im negotiations to buy the patents. And the software was presented in kioto in 1994, way before anyone else.
