I havent worked out how everything works - I just keep zooming into the sensitive military areas to see if they let you look at the photos
All I need now is someone to tell me how to use it Trending Topics

Transfer rate is pretty slow at the moment... wonder how many folks (not just scoobynetters) are downloading this right now
as by the sounds of it, it'll bring down the complete network

That is quite staggering It is basically a map of the entire world - some of the images are amazing. I'm not quite sure what I'm doing with it yet, but it is very impressive! It will allow you to navigate to basically any point on the surface of the earth. Have a read of the website for more details.

I've downloaded the UK but I'm not sure what to do with it now 
I've just had a look at the UK using the programme but it appears to be downloading the data from the NASA server - the NASA logo is in the corner - shouldn't it be loading straight from the cache now?
I'm outta my depth here

A guy on the World Wind Forum has produced this User Guide
There's also a pdf version of the same thing Here
I haven't had chance to look at it yet tho. It might just be a simple getting started guide.
ScoobyChick, I manually copied all the UK files after unzipping them into the relevant folders Wasn't sure how to do it otherwise.
So no idea whether it's made any difference or not
