Ask HN: Digital Globe of the World

1 pointclimber3 comments

I'm building a game, and need a 3D Model of the world, like the geographical data from Google Earth, but at much much much lower resolution.

All I can find on the web (searching via images.google.com) is maps of the earth, but I'd like 3D data.

Thanks!

Have you checked http://edc.usgs.gov/? Seems like they have quite a bit of varied data.

But this is likely not very low resolution.

thanks!

And another, although this site seems to be aimed at navigation of yer car through GPS, but might have some value for you.
