3D Maping

[Chris W]

Has anyone else here seen the new software from NASA that has a 3D map
of the world created from satellite images?

http://learn.arc.nasa.gov/worldwind/
Be Warned it is a 260MB download.

It starts out with a view of the globe you can rotate around and then
zoom in to any part of the world. Naturally you see the most detail in
the USA. You can pick from viewing USGS topo maps, USGS 1 Meter B&W
satellite images or LandSat7 3D imagery. So far every time I have tired
the 3D images I get an error about not being able to connect to the
server. It downloads the images from the net as you zoom in and pan
around. Even with out the 3D images you can still rotate your view so
instead of looking straight down like from a satellite you can get a
view more like that from in your plane. It is a pretty nice piece of
software.

I think the corrected URL is http://learn.arc.nasa.gov/worldwind/index.html
, but I have a feeling it has been slashdotted.

I'm going to try again in a couple days.

It was slashdotted several days ago, but has been working fine the last
few days, and was working fine earlier today. I don't know what is
wrong now.

Since no one seems to have been able to download it yet, I thought I
would post a few screen shots to show what I think is one of the cool
features.

I still have not been able to get the 3D terrain from the Landsat7
images to come up. Just the USGS Topo and 1 Meter satellite images.
