Wow,

You guys have to download this...

I found this incredible...

You can get a view of the Earth from all over the world, and zoom into any place in the world and view practically whatever you want...I have just downloaded it and have yet to notice all of what it's capable of, but so far I am impressed...Make sure you use all of the features.

And it's free!

From NASA

Sorry. It's not a patch on google earth. If only the Americans would realise that there are other countries as well a the U.S.

There are?

Quick! Alert the military!

We have to take them over!

Well, after looking at it further, the only places it allows you to view relatively close is the U.S...

With Google Earth some parts of the U.S are not viewable in the zoom levels, whereas some parts of the rest of the world are...But with NASA World Wind you can view every city in the U.S in the zoom levels, although you can't view the rest of the world...

Although with World Wind you can view some weather features and other things I haven't noticed with Google Earth...Perhaps downloading both would be of some benefit to anyone whom has something specific in mind...

If you want to add a useful USA-only portal to the TerraServer, the software at http://jdmcox.com/ is very effective and it's the best I know for building photo-quality jpg files to make poster-size prints from.

Some of their photos were alot clearer...Would be good for people wanting to plan a travel route without really having to buy a map...
