Like Google Erf, but in real time!!
Takes longer to load, but most Google images are 2 years old or older.

And you can get every topographical map in the US for free off of it.

Although some of the trails are about 10 years out of date.

there is no way that this is in realtime.

*way more realer time than Google.

It's supposedly updated daily, but that's probably only the satellite images.

The aerial photography is either the same stuff as google earth's or slightly newer. Though I haven't used it in a few months since it developed a bad habit of crashing whenever I zoomed out.

oh hi! time to zoom in on iraq and see where osama bin wehrwolf is.

NASA World Wind has never ceased to dissapoint me. :(

ya, it takes fucking forever to get the zoom view, but its cool cuz u can see more updated sat pics.
I like that to scope out my new area.

Last summer me and world wind were the baddest team when it came to exploiting my office's laminator to make maps better than the AMC's

The maps of massachusetts are older than Google Earth's right now. Google Earth was updated a couple months ago with "new"er maps.

powerkok, check out http://local.live.com if you haven't already. A lot of places have the "bird's eye view" available. That shit is fucking amazing. When in bird's eye view you can view things from 4 different angles, too.

hi big brother!

WOW that is fuckin awesome, I just saw my new house at 2 never seen before angles!
Thanks.
