Google Earth + Wikipedia

Wikipedia and Google Earth can be combined in a wonderful way.

One of the Free Software Foundation’s priority projects is to write a Free Software client for Google Earth, and I can now see why this is such a priority. There was actually a free software client for Google Earth servers, but it was aborted after legal threats from Google… NASA WorldWind is a free software application that is simiar, and the NASA data is freely available, but it isn’t a patch on the data available from the Google Earth servers.

    It’s not really aborted. It is now under rewriting as NASA WorldWind client :)
