NASA World Wind 2.2.0

Discover the wonders of the world with NASA World Wind, a powerful digital imagery program that allows you to explore Earth in stunning detail. Released by NASA, World Wind offers a unique perspective on our planet, showcasing its beauty and complexity.

One of the standout features of World Wind is its exceptional satellite imagery. With a wide variety of maps, including Blue Marble, Landsat 7, and MODIS, you can view Earth from different perspectives and uncover its true colors. Whether you want to observe snowy peaks, clouds, or the vibrant colors of rocks, World Wind provides incredible precision and detail.

Searching for specific locations is made easy with World Wind's search tool. Simply type in the name of your desired destination, and the program will guide you there. Landmarks are well-catalogued, and selecting the landmark finder tool will display small tags for significant locations. Clicking on a tag will direct you to the corresponding Wikipedia page, where you can learn more about the landmark.

World Wind's usability is another standout aspect. You can zoom in and out of the map using your mouse, allowing you to focus on specific areas and discover more details. The program also offers the option to customize the information displayed, such as country borders and urban areas, to avoid cluttering your screen.

In addition to its Earth exploration capabilities, World Wind offers two unique tools. You can explore the Moon in high definition, examining its craters, deserts, and plains. The program also recreates the famous Oregon Trail, mapped out by Lewis and Clark in the 19th century, providing significant landmarks along the way.

World Wind is a powerful digital imagery program that rivals Google Earth. While the image resolution process may be slower, the program's landmark finder and additional tools, such as the Moon visualizer and the Lewis & Clark trail, set it apart. Experience the world like never before with NASA World Wind.
