Nasa World Wind?

Does anyone use Nasa World Wind?

It’s kind of like Google Earth only with features geared more toward scientific applications.

Is it just me or did it used to be for Linux to?:confused:

I had it before GE came out but I gotta say I think GE is way better in terms of user-friendliness and convenience (the whole directions thing makes me stiff). World Wind is good for professionals/businesses. Then again, GE Pro has just about all the same features…

Earth Wind is slower, uses a lot of hard disc cache, and often is unable to connect to the server. Moving around needs some experience, this dynamic behaviour gives you a feeling like running around on slippery ice.

Advantages are different scientistic map types and somehow a more “realistic feeling” of altitudes.
