  Description     : WW2D is a free and open-source application similar to NASA World Wind or Google Earth 
software.

(this is cooler than google earth in someways!)

WW2D is a free and open-source application similar to NASA World Wind or Google Earth 
software. It allows you to explore Earth using satellite imagery, topographic maps 
and images from other data sources also providing large placenames and boundaries 
database and allowing you to install community-made add-ons for even more information 
about our planet.

In basic configuration WW2D uses images from Blue Marble Next Generation (500 m/pixel), 
Landsat7 (15 m/pixel), USGS Topo Maps (2.4 m/pixel), USGS Digital Ortho imagery 
(1 m/pixel), USGS Urban Area Ortho (0.25-0.33 m/pixel) imagery.

WW2D is designed to dynamically download needed data from internet, however you can 
manually download data you want for faster access and offline usage.
