It works with Google Earth. It's a lot of fun. Takes a couple of tweaks 
to get it running, but once it is it's pretty fun to 'screenshot' 3D 
models out of it and pull them into modeling software. I've got all of 
downtown S.F. this way as a background model. It's a copyright 
nightmare, but really, really cool...
