World Wind from NASA....
Roam all over Earth as if from a satellite, World Wind from NASA - a free and beautiful program. A must-have for educators especially. Here's the link: http://worldwind.arc.nasa.gov/

It's a fabulous program, letting you move over the earth's surface and perform virtual flybys. But it's a bear: The download is 180mb and requires 2GB of disk space, a decent/recent 3d video card, and you must be running both .NET and DirectX.

It also needs a pretty fast connection when it's running: "World Wind comes with data you can zoom into. After a certain point, World Wind will begin to download more images automatically

Be aware it is 180 meg download and requires a rather fast processor and good graphic card.

Thanks
Dudelive
