Nasa's World Wind. This is pretty awesome.[views:2001][posts:11]___________________________________ [Mar 23,2007 10:53am - powerkok ""] http://worldwind.arc.nasa.gov/ Like Google Erf, but in real time!! Takes longer to load, but most Google images are 2 years old or older. |

_______________________________________ [Mar 23,2007 11:06am - the_reverend ""] there is no way that this is in realtime. |
___________________________________ [Mar 23,2007 11:08am - powerkok ""] *way more realer time than Google. |
__________________________________________ [Mar 23,2007 11:14am - BobNOMAAMRooney ""] It's supposedly updated daily, but that's probably only the satellite images. The aerial photography is either the same stuff as google earth's or slightly newer. Though I haven't used it in a few months since it developed a bad habit of crashing whenever I zoomed out. |

_____________________________________________________ [Mar 23,2007 11:39am - menstrual_sweatpants_disco ""] NASA World Wind has never ceased to dissapoint me. :( |
___________________________________ [Mar 23,2007 11:51am - powerkok ""] ya, it takes fucking forever to get the zoom view, but its cool cuz u can see more updated sat pics. I like that to scope out my new area. |

____________________________________________________ [Mar 23,2007 7:47pm - menstrual_sweatpants_disco ""] The maps of massachusetts are older than Google Earth's right now. Google Earth was updated a couple months ago with "new"er maps. powerkok, check out http://local.live.com if you haven't already. A lot of places have the "bird's eye view" available. That shit is fucking amazing. When in bird's eye view you can view things from 4 different angles, too. |
