OpenStreetMap is a free editable map of the whole world. It is made by people like you. OpenStreetMap allows you to view, edit and use geographical data in a collaborative way from anywhere on Earth.

World Wind, an open source 3D interactive world viewer, was created by NASA's Learning Technologies project, and released in mid-2004. It is now developed by NASA staff and open source community ... [More] developers. At its simplest you can think of World Wind as a desk globe, however World Wind is not a simple desk globe. World Wind allows any user to zoom from outer space into any place on Earth. World Wind uses satellite imagery and elevation data to allow users to experience Earth terrain in visually rich 3D, just as if they were really there. World Wind can also be expanded to include additional imagery and data.. There have already been a number of add-ons created, from Norway's Prehistoric Hillforts to additional planets. [Less]

Marble is a Virtual Globe and World Atlas that you can use to learn more about Earth: You can pan and zoom around and you can look up places and roads. A mouse click on a place label will provide the ... [More] respective Wikipedia article. Marble is also a light weight generic geographical map component for use in your own Qt 4.x / C++ application. It is provided as a library, a QWidget and a KDE 4 KPart and hence can easily get integrated with KDE 4 or Qt 4 applications. By default MarbleWidget shows the earth as a sphere but doesn't make use of any hardware acceleration. [Less]

Preparation of GPS routes and analysis of GPS logs in the context of outdoor sports (biking, skiing, trecking, gliding, geocaching, mountaineering). Our hope is to have a multi platform, multi GPS file and map format software.

Dapple makes it easy to find and visualize massive quantities of geoscientific data available on the Internet. * View geoscience data, satellite imagery, remote sensing data, geology maps ... [More] , geophysical data, and many other earth data sets of interest to geoscientists. * Save an earth view and share your view with colleagues. * Add new Geosoft DAP and WMS servers of interest. * View GeoTIFF files.

GXmap is a small virtual globe and map viewer. Apart from showing an ordinary 3D globe view of the earth, it can also generate Azimuthal equidistant projection maps suitable for amateur radio (ham) ... [More] usage. In the ham mode, the antenna direction and distance from one location (i.e. a radio station) on earth to another is calculated and displayed. A NASA satellite image is used as the default map, and tiles from OpenStreetMap are downloaded automatically when needed. If a GPS device is connected (as detected by gpsd), the current GPS coordinates are displayed on the map as well. [Less]

Welcome to the EarthBrowser API code repository. The EarthBrowser API enables you to embed the zero install EarthBrowser virtual globe into your web pages. This repository contains example code and ... [More] reusable components that can be put together to create your own EarthBrowser mashup. You can create and control interactive controls such as text input boxes, buttons, checkboxes and more as well as geographical features like icon markers, lines and polygons directly to the globe.

Click here to view the new tutorial. More to come!pylibkml is Python wrapper for Google's libkml library that allows for creating valid KML documents using a more 'pythonic' syntax than the ... [More] SWIG-generated Python bindings provided by libkml. For example, the following code generates a placemark object using pylibkml: from pylibkml import Kml placemark = Kml().create_placemark({ 'name' : 'Placemark Name', 'snippet' : 'Sample Snippet', 'description' : 'Sample Description', 'timestamp' : {'when': '5/19/2009'}, 'point' : Kml().create_point({ 'extrude' : True, 'altitudemode' : 'relativetoground', 'coordinates' : Kml().create_coordinates(-120,40), }) })This is equivalent to the following code, which generates a placemark object using libkml: import kmldom factory = kmldom.KmlFactory_GetFactory() placemark = factory.CreatePlacemark() placemark.set_name('Placemark Name') snip = factory.CreateSnippet() snip.set_text('Sample Snippet') placemark.set_snippet(snip) placemark.set_description('Sample Description'.encode()) timestamp = factory.CreateTimeStamp() timestamp.set_when('5/19/2009') placemark.set_timeprimitive(timestamp) coordinates = factory.CreateCoordinates() coordinates.add_latlng(40, -120) point = factory.CreatePoint() point.set_altitudemode(kmldom.ALTITUDEMODE_RELATIVETOGROUND) point.set_extrude(True) point.set_coordinates(coordinates) placemark.set_geometry(point)Both code blocks result in the following KML text (once serialized using kmldom.SerializeRaw(placemark)): Placemark Name Sample Snippet Sample Description 5/19/2009 1 relativeToGround -120,40,0\n [Less]
