[dba-Tech] Zoomable World picture

I think this is probably linked to from the same system as NASA's 'World
Wind', which has taken off:
http://learn.arc.nasa.gov/worldwind/ <http://learn.arc.nasa.gov/worldwind/> 
 
Offers a downloadable client from which you can navigate the globe, zoom in
& out etc. and it downloads the required images/data as you go.
 
Pretty awesome although its becoming so popular that the servers are
struggling to keep up!
