  1. porting to linux... by dovf · · Score: 1 · on Google Earth Launching For Free
    I am certain that many people here would gladly "take the time to code all that", for free even, if they only could. But this is not an open source app, so that is not possible.

    Come to think about it, this could make a great project. GPL'ed clone of Google Earth, anyone?

    So how about joining the effort for porting NASA's World Wind, instead? (Also check out this thread, with comments from the World Wind developer)

  3. Most popular thing people use World Wind for by AnswerIs42 · · Score: 1 · on Satellite Easter Eggs
    Most common use we have found for people that use World Wind. "Hey! Look I found ___________!" Even have a hotspots website setup at Worldwindcentral.com

    What makes it nice using World Wind is that it is starting to bring together a few different sources of data into one interface.

    Now.. if we can just get Europe to forget about their pocketbooks and open up some imagery for free use...

  4. Re:More likely... by Anonymous Coward · · Score: 0 · on Google Adds Satellite Imagery to Maps

    Where both have the Aerial Ortho World Wind is a lot clearer. Compare the Playboy Mansion from World Wind and from Google Maps.

  6. wanna see those top down ? by Anonymous Coward · · Score: 0 · on A Strange Streak Imaged in Australia

    Nasa's worldwind (here on slashdot a while back) shows some mighty funny objects in the australian sky. Could well be the same things, whatever they are.
