NASA Releases World Viewer
Klatoo55 writes "Nasa has released a comprehensive world viewing tool that allows you to zoom from planetary resolution down to where you can pick out individual streets. Really cool, but it needs a good internet connection and a decent graphics card. There's all sorts of interesting features, such as the ability to tilt your view for a flight-sim like experience and a data display feature that shows current natural disasters, political boundaries, weather patterns, and landmarks on the Earth's surface, all while providing a dynamic satellite's eye view of the planet."
Has anyone gotten this to work and locate area 51? I can only imagine that zooming in on sensative locations is probably blocked by the application. Cant hurt to ask though.
grub, you homophobe
The site is slashdotted, but is it anything like Keyhole?
THe sites is slashdotted, but it sounds similar to keyhole.com - which is also has 3d data.
We are sorry but the slashdoting of a 250MB file was a bit more than we had planned for. We will re-post this file later in the day or this evening once the initial rush cools off. Thank you for your patience. Noooooo!!! Too late...
Looks the world is no longer viewable: "We are sorry but the slashdoting of a 250MB file was a bit more than we had planned for. We will re-post this file later in the day or this evening once the initial rush cools off. Thank you for your patience."
Somebody give me a link to a torrent...
I'll see your Constitution and raise you a Queen.
