This software has been out for a year, and I haven't noticed. The company that created this atlas went through a lot of trouble. As a matter of fact, they photographed three urban areas from a scale as much as 1/5,000 - you can even see cars driving down the road.
Of course, it has all of your standard features, such as navigation, address search, and so forth. Also of note is how the software uses JPEG2000 for storing images; o­ne of the first applications I've seen of the format.
According to the Impress Watch article this software was reviewed o­n, if the company were to photograph all of Japan in this manner, more than 1TB of space would be required. Ouch.



I won't be translating this article, because uhh...pictures speak for themselves. Enjoy.
