SpaceNavigator Works on Mac OS X
[NOTE: Updated 9-May-2007 - SpaceNavigator now works if you download Google Earth 4.1 Beta...read more here.]
Just in time for MacWorld, the guys at 3DConnexion have released a driver for the fabulous SpaceNavigator for Mac OS X. Quite simply, the SpaceNavigator is the best way to fly around in Google Earth (and other 3D programs). This is an early release of the Mac driver (version 0.1), and unfortunately they have not released the driver for Google Earth yet. But, it must be coming soon. Right now it works with SketchUp 6 (just released), Maya and formZ. If you already have your SpaceNavigator, go here to download the driver. If you don't have one, you can buy them from Amazon here. You can read my earlier review of SpaceNavigator, or check out the YouTube video review here:
