Geody supports the following applications.
Download and install them on your system to take advantage of all features on Geody's website.
They are all available for free.
Google Earth (Windows, Linux, MacOS X)
A virtual globe wrapped by satellite and aerial imagery developed by Google. Since version 4.2 includes Google Sky to explore the sky.
NASA Worldwind (Windows)
A virtual globe wrapped by satellite and aerial imagery developed by NASA.
Celestia (Windows, Linux, MacOS X)
Virtual space exploration in three dimensions.
Stellarium (Windows, Linux, MacOS X)
A virtual planetarium.
Unfortunately Stellarium currently doesn't support its file type (STS), so that it's a bit tricky to view Geody search results into Stellarium. This is the procedure: from the location (in the search result's page), click on the link "Stellarium", and save the file "geomark.sts" on your hard disk. Copy it to the Stellarium script directory (on Windows normally "C:\Program Files\Stellarium\data\scripts" ). Start Stellarium. Press "M" to open the hidden menu. Press cursor down until you reach the menu item "Scripts". Press "Enter", you should see "Script locale: Select and exit to run.". Press "Enter again". Press cursor down until you see the script you want to execute (geomark.sts), then exit the menu pressing "M" again, and you'll finally see the sky above the selected place.

Geody currently accepts images which maximum width and height is 800 pixels. Geody can automatically resize larger images, but it will take a much longer time for you to upload them. You'd better resize them beforehand using this tool which supports batch conversion. It will also strip some EXIF data created by digital cameras which might be incompatible with a web usage.
