Changing the appearance of the three dimensional maps in Virtual Earth

Posted by Earth Pro in Microsoft Virtual Earth on July 25th, 2008 |  No Comments »

Once you can download the Virtual Earth 3D beta version you can use it. You can also control the views and make them appear, as you would like them to. If your computer or internet connection is slower than required, it may affect the download time. In such case, you can reduce the resolution of the images. This will ultimately reduce the download time as well and therefore you would e able to download the images much faster.

One more thing that can reduce the downloading time is choosing not to show computer generated images of buildings. These can appear when you are viewing buildings and similar objects in 3D. The procedure for doing so is as given below.

FAQ’s on NASA World Wind

Posted by Earth Pro in NASA World Wind on July 25th, 2008 |  No Comments »

Does NASA World Wind provide real time images?

The server sends imagery to its users by compressing it from gigabytes to many hundred megabytes. Even after the images are compressed to several hundred megabytes, the bandwidth needed for the server will be quite large. Even if this task is achieved somehow, the internet connection of most users is not that fast to update data every hour. However for MODIS, Global Clouds are frequently updated, hence they can be referred as real time images.
