By all accounts with this free piece of software, you can view extremely high resolution photos (satellite and topographical) of almost anywhere in the world. I'm still downloading it, (250MB file) but someone on Neowin has managed to find some amazing shots of his home town that shows little things like swimming pools, cars etc
CPU intensive programme so if you haven't got a good spec I would avoid running it

So my 1.04 Ghz Athlon would be useless then?Anyway I have a feeling that I'm not up to dealing with it reading the very brief distribution notes.When they are that simple it means it's NOT that simple.

That link doesn't appear to be working. (For me anyway).

It has to be said that the NASA servers do not seem to like the increased traffic lol You may need to be patient with the servers

Downloading. Sounds like a cool piece of software

This looks a very interesting piece of software..its just from what i read the servers are down for it. It just keeps attempting to connect every 2 mins for me but failing :/

edit: nevermind, got it working for looking at the us through usgs, pretty good, cant wait for landsat to work
