Only trouble I could see with those is that theyre not exactly looking straight down..so would be a problem when mapping them on the ground. You can see the sides to some buildings the further up you go which will make the perspective off etcJust my thoughts anyway.Craig Kiltie

For those who missed it (the thread seemed to go missing after last night's forum problem), you'll soon be able to download a personal version of a 3D Earth viewer that will put these sorts of images into motion:http://www.earthviewer.comThe previews look very interesting.

On some screen it is mentioned that they use a mesh to render elevations, and this mesh looks really good. I wonder what kind it is...
