A screen saver using Virtual Earth APIs which reads RSS feeds to show interesting Virtual Earth birdseye and satellite images from users with information about those images.

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]

This project is split up into three parts: P0 - ToolsBased on libmpr there will be some tools (or "a tool") to easily extract and calibrate small, single GroundOverlays for Google Earth. P1 - ... [More] Server basedSome tools will be provided to transform the mpr-Maps to Google Earth readable files (PNG, GIF or JPG), calibrate them (because Austrian-TOPO Maps are not in WGS84), generate Superoverlay-kml-files and copy them into a directory structure in your webserver. (Version 1 will use a database, Apache and PHP, version 2 will be only on harddisk; also local harddisk possible) P2 - Local usageA little C++ Webserver with libmpr and some png-library included gets the KML- and Map-image-requests from Google Earth, reads the corresponding map-parts from the Austrian-Map-CD, transforms them to PNG, JPG or GIF pictures and returns them immediately to Google Earth. (Version 2 will have a Cache for the generated pictures) Future UseMaybe we can get this project work with all type of maps (mainly for those which are not WGS84, and those with the .mpr / .mph map-files) like the German TOP50, etc...
