Google Earth Alternative: NASA World Wind

The National Aeronautics and Space Administration has had a 3D mapping

program available since mid-2004. It has grown in leaps and bounds

since its initial release. World Wind combines a great deal of

satellite technology and imagery into one excellent application.

"Leveraging Landsat satellite imagery and Shuttle Radar Topography

Mission data, World Wind lets you experience Earth terrain in

visually rich 3D, just as if you were really there."

Not only can you explore Earth, but the moon as well! World Wind is

open-source. Several add-ons are available to further improve the

product.
