WW2D allows you to explore Earth using satellite imagery, topographic maps and image from other data sources also providing large placenames and boundaries database and allowing you to install community-made add-ons for even more information about our planet.

WW2D is designed to dynamically download needed data from internet, however you can download data you want for faster access and offline usage.
