Google Earth (formerly keyhole) now free

[dorbie 0]

The basic version is now free, the client will of course give you 3D terrain unlike the web page:

http://earth.google.com/

They have better global coverage at moderate resolution, the very high res AirPhotoUSA stuff is gone but they have other sources for mid resolution stuff.

They've also added features like 3D building extrusions in some urban areas.

This is perhaps a better feature summary:

ok, this is by far the coolest utility I have ever seen.

Details of the landing area at my DZ are pin point perfect! Wow!

I can even virtually visit other DZs and check out the conditions there.... this is very cool!

While this is no doubt a very cool program, it must be noted that the pictures you are viewing are not real time. They are in fact in many cases many months old. For example, zoom in on Eloys DZ. You will see in the photos that the wind tunnel is no where near completion when in fact it is already up and running.
I wonder if there is a real time version somewhere that can be down loaded.

Years, even.

My guess is that these folks have one, but I doubt they'll let you play with it.

That's nothing, I learned that I need to make an appointment with Hair Club. Apparently I'm thinning ...
