Has anyone used this program at all? I found out about it on Live QnA and I'm just downloading it now to look at it, but has anyone previously used it or know much about it.

I have never used it, but it looks like a Google Earth with advanced topography. This means that all the land is done in pure 3D as an accurate representation of reality, whereas google Earth only does places os specific interest, such as the Grand Canyon, which I always found to be something it lacked. However, it probably doesn't have the search features that Google Earth has (find location/business/street etc).
I'll check it out soon, I think.
