Google Earth

Get it here.
Cost: Free

UDL Guideline 7.3 - Minimize threats and distractions
Google Earth is  a very versatile app that can display several layers of complex information at once.  In doing so, it can be easy to be overloaded by all of the sensory stimulation.  Google Earth allows users to vary the level of visual information they are presented with by adding layers, removing layers, and changing viewing options (satellite, map, and street views).

General Critique
The tools are simple, intuitive, in a fixed location, and labeled.  These features make the user experience quite easy and efficient.
