Publisher's description
From NASA :World Wind lets you zoom from satellite altitude into any place on Earth. Leveraging Landsat satellite imagery and Shuttle Radar Topography Mission data, World Wind lets you experience Earth terrain in visually rich 3D, just as if you were really there. Virtually visit any place in the world. Look across the Andes, into the Grand Canyon, over the Alps, or along the African Sahara.
Note: World Wind benefits most from a video card with 3D acceleration. If you don't know whether your machine comes with one, it is likely to have one built in if the computer was purchased within the past two years. Here is a list of video cards that have been reported to work with World Wind.

Pros: It's FREE!
You can see the whole world and have a good zoom of the countrys. The program also include a Finder, to search for any City or location you like.
Latitude and Longitude of any place.
It's FREE!
If, and only if, you like to zoom in US, you will see so closer that TREES and CARS maybe visible! Yes, thats true, you can see a car on a street!!(not animated)
You have to wait a bit for the urban maps to load, but they are really nice!
It haves a lot of information.
Install this for your kinds, they will love it!
Have i sad that this is TOTALLY FREE!?
No trial, no "update today" messages, no "function enable only for full version", no username or personal information requer, no serialz or code needed!
Only FREE, and just FREE.
Download , install and have fun!
Cons: Laaaaarge file to download. If you have dial , just forget...

Version: World Wind 1.3 beta
Pros: Increibles detalles y colores. Facil de aprender a navegar. Monstruoso contenido de imagenes. Una verdadera maravilla de la tecnologia moderna. Y lo mejor de todo: es gratis!
Se lo recomiendo a todo aquel que, como yo, le fascina hacer viajes virtuales por todo el mundo y viajar con la imaginacion.
Soy fanatico de la fotografia aerea, y aqui hay muchisisisisimas, y de muy buena resolucion.
Impredible!
Cons: La unica contra es tu propia limitacion del hardware. Cuanto mas rapida sea tu PC y tu tarjeta de video, mejor.
