Keyhole is "the only company to deliver a 3D digital model of the entire earth via the Internet."
And now, for a limited time only, you can test drive their program by downloading the trial version of Keyhole. You’ll have to go through an annoying (but quick) registration process. If that’s too much for you, you can watch this animation of California to see what it looks like.
Unfortunately, large parts of the Earth (including Slovenia) are unmapped. You just see green blurs like the one above. Otherwise, it’s pretty impressive. The ability to zoom in and examine the closest details of metropolitan areas will definitely dazzle you — unless, of course, you’re a paranoid type. Then it will probably freak you out.
Still: give it a try!

World Wind allows any user to zoom from satellite altitude into any place on Earth, leveraging high resolution LandSat imagery and SRTM elevation data to experience Earth in visually rich 3D, just as if they were really there.
Particular focus was put into the ease of usability so people of all ages can enjoy World Wind. All one needs to control World Wind is a two button mouse. Additional guides and features can be accessed though a simplified menu. Navigation is automated with single clicks of a mouse as well as the ability to type in any location and automatically zoom into it.
World Wind was designed to run on recent PC hardware with 3D acceleration. Please refer to the download section for more information on system requirements.
