Download: Google Earth 5 w/Mars
An early overview is available here. This is exactly what I've been waiting for ever since Google Earth came out five years ago. And HiRISE integration is amazing. |

I was impressed by the very accurate 3d renderings of locations where they have been able to interpolate good terrain models. For example, I was able to see, with a very high degree of accuracy, what Victoria looks like from on top of the Soup Dragon...

QUOTE (djellison @ Feb 5 2009, 02:48 AM) That's the USGS HiRISE DEM work. It's amazing. Forget the view from the top, here's from the middle of the Victoria Crater in the dunes looking up!
There is elevation data for the individual ripples!!!! Also, I turned of the atmosphere so I wouldn't be distracted by the blueness. There has to be a setting that I am missing somewheres. -------------------- Lyford Rome
