World Wind Vs. Google Earth
I just started using World Wind not too long ago and I like it better. Mainly due to the the 3d Topo view.
Anyone else compared the two?

For planning outdoor trips I'd take World Wind because of the topo feature. The sat photos are black and white, but are at least the same detail no matter what, with GE it could be amazing detail or a big blur depending on the area. For finding someones house in a populated area or getting directions etc... GE is superior in my opinion. For the most part GE seems to be superior when looking outside the US too.

This is what I hate about GE, when you look into the swell or other desert areas its just fuzz.
