i had trouble doing this at first - just hold down right mouse button and pan up and down.

it appears NASA are having server difficulties - you are meant to be able to zoom right in and see much more detail as LANDSAT images are downloaded directly

here are some examples

I d/l mount fuji and the grand canyon both are amazing!

thought this Program is really good esp. seeing its for free. I just wanted to show my Daughter some of the countries where I have worked - she wanted to see where Bethlehem was!

cheers gravelexpress,some great pics there,ie Orange County Golfcourse.

LMAO!!!! :D 23 hour 50 min download on dial up!

did everyone get it to work first time.

I got crc errors in some of the CAB files!! so couldnt install it, I'll download it again.

been doing some slow, low altitude, gliding across far flung terrain :)

R click and scroll lifts up hills and mountain regions :D

Shame only the US goes down to really detailed resolution!

Yep, it ran first time.

real time or is it just saved data from a while back?

Worked first time, fast download as well.

There's a Forum on the NASA World Wind Site

So far ive been looking at the hoover dam, brands hatch, santa pod, eiffel tower (i think), Millenium dome, heathrow, stanstead, gatwick, Mt Doom from Lord of the Rings in NZ, Golden Gate bridge. Its quality. Cant seem to get the extreme close up that you are supposed to though but its pretty good.
Has anyone else tried to look at the south pole? It just loads black squares. I take it the dont have the images or something? The north pole is the same.

How are you guys downloading the UK separately? Does this mean you can zoom without the images downloading and takes ages??

as their servers have been overloaded they have a download page with d/ls for different areas. How good a detail are peeps getting ive d/l'ed UK but the detail isnt all that good?

I'm so jealous :( Poxy dial up! Can't get broadband in my area :(

Where are you all downloading the places from? I'm at a loss!

a couple of places I have looked at in case anyone cares:

brands hatch: lat-51.36 lon-0.26
gatwick: lat-51.15 lon-(0.18)
heathrow: lat-51.47 lon-(0.44)
santa pod: lat-52.23 lon-(0.59)
rockingham oval: lat-52.51 lon-(0.657)
silverstone: lat-52.07 lon-(1.015)
eiffel tower: lat-48.859 lon-2.294
the nou camp Barcelona: lat-41.38 lon-2.12

Very cool - I like the way you can zoom in and out with a mouse wheel - best way yet I've found to give my kids a context of where they live relative to the rest of the world.

Mmm.... 25 min download.... Better be worth it....:D
