This is an absolutely awesome 3D satellite-thingy program by NASA.

It's good, but i still think google maps gives you a closer view.

Really? I always though World Wind gave a much closer view. Really neat interface as well, took up crap loads of memory for me though.

How do I zoom really close?

Ive had it for a couple months now and I love it. It does go closer than google does for some places but then google also beats it in others, its really a tie in that sense I think.

I prefer Google Maps, I got World Wind a while back.

You can only go REALLY close in America, and go to Urbans Maps or Local Maps or something, I forget, had to get rid of it as it took up too much space.

Offtopic: I really REALLY hate Shaolin Monks because this one on Black and White is annoying the hell out of me...

I hated that guy, just pause, then you can move freely without him seeing you, position yourself, then play.

this is really cool, but zooming in takes a bit

Cool program, I suggest everyone posts the exact coordinates of their homes.

Mine:
worldwind://goto/world=Earth&lat=52.40548&lon=5.29462&alt=12636

(Turn on Crosshair, go to Edit > Copy coordinates)

EDIT: hehe it even got it right that I live below sealevel

 

[PvtRyan]

Teehee, Valve here:

worldwind://goto/world=Earth&lat=47.61449&lon=-122.20029&alt=600

EDIT: Area 51 here:
