Google Earth(Comments RSS)
This morning I've been playing some with Google Earth. I had downloaded it a few weeks back when it came out, but hadn't had time to check it out. It's a desktop version of Google Maps, and it uses streaming to download the detailed terrain data. Works pretty well, below is a pic of my neighborhood from 3,000 feet.
You can see the Empire State Building in the lower left corner.

I've also downloaded NASA's World Wind. Haven't had time to play with that yet, but it's supposed to be very neat. Check it out:
