Nasa releases WorldViewer

Nasa has released an open-source application that lets you zoom into any part of the earth and see street-level pictures for many regions. Similar to Keyhole which lets you do the same for a hefty annual price. It seems that WorldViewer will soon be released on Sourceforge, so it will be really interesting to see the hacks that will be done on this application.

I tried WorldWind from NASA. To tell you the truth, it was pretty disappointing. Keyhole is much better when it comes to atleast the USA.~Lino.

Give Keyhole a spin. It's pretty awesome in its present form. A pity that you can only use it for free for 7 days, but what the heck, it's good fun while it lasts. There are great applications for this technology though, but more on that later.
