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.

A 3d globe with wms tile support and arc-ball based rotation. There are three targets for this source code 1) flash 2) opengl 3) iphone native app. 1) Flash is a challenging target. Historically ... [More] it has been somewhat difficult to show a 3d globe in the browser let alone anything in 3d; solutions such as java applets are not universally supported, and flash itself although well supported has had no 3d support. Papervision3d is a lightweight pure source code flash component that we leverage to make it possible to easily deliver a 3d globe in the browser. This is hopefully a foundation for variety of projects, and being open source it can hopefully be improved by the community. Here is a running example of an earlier rev of the flash version of this code: http://hook.org/anselm/projects/20070901_MeadanGlobe/globe/bin/globe.html 2) The OpenGL version is quite simple and a good development reference point although of course not competitive with NASA WorldWind or Google Earth. There is a sample port of the same code to cygwin under windows under opengl as well in /opengl . 3) The iPhone version is more preliminary - the hope is to improve it with community support. I've built an installer so you can install it via community sources like any app. To do this you first crack your phone (ziphone.org) then goto your installer, and goto sources within that, and then add a new source - that new source will be http://meadanglobe.googlecode.com/files/iphone.xml. When typing in the iphone ui it will try to capitalize iPhone.XML - reject that suggestion. Now you will have the globe as a source. Goto your installer main menu. Goto Multimedia. Goto Globe. Install that. Now it will appear as an icon on your iphone desktop. Congradulations. All you can do right now is rotate it. It does not fetch textures dynamically. The sun position is static right now. Please feel free to help out. For the source code see /iphone. This runs on the OpenGLES profile. An executable is included. Here is a screen-shot of the iphone opengl native version: http://www.flickr.com/photos/anselmhook/1747152617/in/set-72157602696188420/ [Less]

I MOVED THIS TO http://github.com/anselm/SpinnyGlobe. THIS IS OLD THEREFORE. Spinny Globes for flash, the iphone and native platforms. Similar in theme to NASA WorldWind and Google Earth. A 3d ...
