World Wind lets you zoom from satellite altitude into any place on
Earth. Leveraging Landsat satellite imagery and Shuttle Radar
Topography Mission data, World Wind lets you experience Earth terrain
in visually rich 3D, just as if you were really there.

Virtually visit any place in the world. Look across the Andes, into the
Grand Canyon, over the Alps, or along the African Sahara.

Really cool software but proceed w/caution: Worldwind 1.3 consistently
locks up my Win2k SP4.

May have something to do with graphics, it requires latest DirectX and I
have ATI's IGP9100.

I went to the NASA site to find their program for global mapping. I was
amazed to find it was a 180 meg download! No way I can do that.

It has never locked up on my Win2k SP4 box with a cheapo NVidia graphics
card.

In an unmoderated NG you can control what you read and what you write.
That's all you can control.

BTW when I ran EasyCleaner.... .NET got yellow dots. (suspicous or too difficult to
determine)
.... all else was green...(good to go). I left it though because sometime ago I
installed it for some
reason which I do not now recall, nonetheless, AFAIK it does no harm nor interfers
with
anything. OS=XP on the machine in question.

I did it in California over 2 nights.

Amazing US pictures. Less good for other parts of the globe, unless I'm
mising something..

Yes, that is true. Digital Ortho has the best resolution and Urban

This program is great and I thought that I was seeing world live from the
great beyond until I noticed that a bridge in my urban area was being
constructed. I have been driving over that bridge for three years now.

It's still an awesome program,

Google Maps is probably as good or better for North America and there is no
huge download.

Here are some interesting images from Google Maps:
