Maps, Earth, NASA code...

I recently discovered NASA World Wind - which could be described as the NASA version of Google Earth. The project is part of the NASA Vision Workbench, and something I find interesting about it is that it's Open Source. When I worked on the thesis, using Computer Vision and Computer Graphics, I found some of the code from World Wind, but had to remake it to work and to fit my settings. I published my revised code in an old post, and just like the World Wind team I didn't come to the point where the disposing is done of video on a surface in DirectX. Even though I found out in the end how to do it I also found out that using video on a surface wouldn't be beneficial for my project....

Now I'm trying to decide what to use for my next little project, Google Earth, Google Maps, Yahoo Maps or maybe NASA North Wind. I'll be creating a photo-map-story-blog, showing photos I take with my new camera in different cities and with different stories to them....
