Google Earth

I would commonly show Nasa World Wind to Civil Engineers and most would get excited about being able to have such a tool available to them for free.

Well as of yesterday, Google Earth took the concept of a 3D globe with images draped on to terrain to another level.

AECNew.com has an article that describes Google Earth and the potential ramifications to the AEC communities.

I am very impressed with Google Earth and am looking forward to finding out more of it's potential usages.
