Any one played with this? http://worldwind.arc.nasa.gov/ "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." Sadly my computer is just about off the bottom of the recommended specs   "System Requirements Windows 95, 98, ME, 2000, or XP Intel Pentium 3, 1 GHz, or AMD Athlon or higher 256 MB of RAM 3D Graphics Card nVidia GeForce 2 Ultra ATI Radeon 7500 Intel Extreme Graphics 2 DSL / Cable connection or faster 2 GB of disk space" BTW its opensource  | ||
