    Good. Needs a good video board to run well but good.

    Also take a look at NASA's WorldWind. Similar but enough different (better IMO) to be worth having both. I liked it enough to buy a hotter video card just to make it run better.

    My only complaint is that the images and maps they use tend to be dated; but then it is free. I would definitely expect more up to date information if I had to pay for the service.
    Example, they show my house with the truck I sold three years ago parked in my driveway.
