Cool tool that I didn't know existed: <a href="http://learn.arc.nasa.gov/worldwind/">WorldWind</a>. Not particularily useful for navigation but interesting. Anyone already had a play with it?

I've loaded a copy on my 800mhz/512mb system and it doesn't take long before it slows my whole machine to a crawl. I'm going to try and run it on a 3ghz/1gb system in the next couple of days to see if its just a "grunt thing".
The user interface is a little "simple", but the images are quite spectacular.
Any of you with Big Pond access can download the program (and images for australia and other parts) from
http://files.bigpond.com/library/index. ... cat&id=959
The downloads will be "full speed" and I think they are free too. I'm not a BigPond user, so I maybe wrong about the "free" bit. The rest of us can look at the site, but have to ask a "friend" to download them for us.
I've just realised the source code to the application is installed with the software. It's C# (.Net). It maybe possible to build a frontend to link GC and these satetite images, hmmmm,
