I don't want do defend WW or GE but both has its advantages:
- WW were made as free source code - it give us the chance to create our own addons and add our own imagery. The satelite imagery had taken from public access galleries. - GE has excelent imagery especialy around the world. The imagery is paid (not in free edition, but in other versions it is), because they have their own satellites or had bought imagery from satellites companies. So we can decide what is best for our use. I use both - GE to world and WW for USA or vice versa. What we must to do is what TomServo said: Let's ask Bill Gates to donate a powerful imagery satelite to WW project. Or we can save money to buy one (wow, we need lot of money!).

Looks like GE (the free version) is holding off on its downloads for now. As of 6/30/05, you'll get a message:
. . . . . Google Earth downloads temporarily delayed Thanks for your interest in Google Earth, but we're sorry we can't offer you a download right now. As you know, Google Earth is in beta, and we're still building out our ability to take on new users. We're making good progress, and expect to be able to accept new downloads shortly, so we recommend you check back daily at earth.google.com. We hope to be able to welcome you and other new planet surfers soon. We appreciate your patience, The Google Earth Team . . . . . Maybe those legendary google server farms aren't enough for now... Thus, I havn't tried GE yet, but in any case, I love WW since I can visualize all the scientific data. =) PS: I tried to post this earlier, but I have no idea where it went...hopefully a moderator can delete it if it's in some wierd spot... |

Spooky! :P (Unless my memory's going bad, but I don't remember deleting any. I'd blame that dodgy-looking Bull character if I were you.)

GE's imagery is much better (for outside of USA and I'm from Russia so I'm not interested much in images of USA) and it works much faster however it doesn't have so large placenames database and other [user-defined] layers.
Also big plus for it is that (according to dlls in installation folder) it uses cross-platform libraries (Qt, CURL, expat, OpenGL) so I think they will make Linux/Mac version soon. |

As far as placenames, you can add a layer that displays all the places found by the keyhole community. Go to Tools > Layers and the check off the Keyhole community BBS. There are tons and tons of placemarks and locations and when you click on them it will open the thread in the keyhole forums pertaining to what you clicked on. |
