EarthView 7.17.2

EarthView: Dynamic, High-Resolution Earth Wallpapers and Screensaver

EarthView from DeskSoft turns your desktop into a real-time window on our planet, combining high-resolution map and globe views with realistic day/night lighting, atmospheric haze, city lights and optional live cloud and weather overlays. Designed to produce crisp images for a wide range of displays, EarthView supports multi-monitor setups and ultra-high resolutions beyond 3840×2160, with downloadable higher-resolution maps for deeper zoom.

Key Visual and Map Capabilities

• Multiple map types: Five built-in maps with different visual styles and seasonal maps showing vegetation cycles, snow cover and ocean ice. The demo includes the seasonal map while additional maps are available for download.
• High base resolution: Base maps start at 10 km per pixel (1 pixel = 10 km at 100% zoom), and purchasable maps offer higher resolution for greater detail and deeper zoom levels.
• Realistic lighting: Smooth day/night transitions, dynamic shadowing and bright city lights at night create an authentic planetary look.
• Live clouds and weather: Optional internet-downloaded cloud maps and weather data (temperature, humidity, wind, pressure, METAR) overlay real-world conditions on the map or globe.

Customization and Control

• Flexible views: Choose between globe and map projections, enable multiple simultaneous views, and configure different displays per monitor.
• Extensive visual parameters: Control zoom level, image sharpness, atmospheric effects, urban area emphasis and more to fine-tune the desktop appearance.
• Profiles and scheduling: Save multiple profiles for distinct setups and schedule automatic transitions between views or day/night modes.
• Branding and overlays: Add custom background or overlay images for logos, watermarks or decorative elements without obscuring core Earth visuals.

Productivity, Deployment and Compatibility

• Low system impact: Optimized to run smoothly across a wide range of hardware while delivering high-quality imagery.
• Wide Windows support: Current builds support Windows Vista through Windows 11 and Windows Server. Legacy releases are available for much older systems (Windows 95–2000) and Windows XP is supported up to v5.20.1.
• Enterprise features: Silent install and uninstall options plus multiple profile support make EarthView suitable for corporate deployments, digital signage and educational labs.
• Wallpaper and screensaver: Use EarthView as a dynamic wallpaper or screensaver with per-monitor customization and multiple simultaneous views.
