WorldWind Application in Google Web Toolkit


I was wondering if anyone has ported NASA's World Wind over to GWT. I would really like to see a couple of examples of setting up and using a world wind map in a GWT project and performing actions like creating geometries for the map and adding custom icons to the map. If anyone has any information on this I would greatly appreciate it.

Thanks,

MPH


Solution

  • No, I don't believe anybody has ported NWW-J to GWT. It would be a huge job, probably resulting in a huge web-app.

    IMHO you should really be looking at OpenLayers It doesn't provide a 3d view, but it really is the standard for 2d browser-based mapping.

    Alternatively, if your users have up-to-date browsers you could try WebGlEarth. It isn't as mature as OpenLayers, but it is 3d on an HTML5 browser.
