Hey Guys, Thanks for the info. I would love to have a chat with you what_nick! about possible commercial uses for WW. I guess I really need to know if what I am developing is feasable. What is the best way to hookup? I am in Vegas till Monday with work so if you want to email me my address is simonmchugh@iprimus.com.au
Cheers and hope to hear from you next week.

Don’t know if I am allowed to plug a company but we at http://www.apogee.com.au commercially support worldwind and work on both the C# and Java versions.I am one of the contributors to Worldwind core.
If you need any commercial level support let us know.

Its open source so there is no commercial license.

Wow and I thought GE was cool and now I stumble across World Wind. As far as image quality is concerned there is no comparison. I am currently trying to get anyone at GE to talk to me about commercial licencing of GE for use in a multinational website. Do any of you guys know if they are into this type of thing? Do you know if the creators of World Wind would licence it’s use as a navigational element on a multinationals website? Cheers

Just in response to the speed issues. GE doesnot provide sharp imagery all over the screen and anywhere except in the centre it looks Yucky.If you want a streaming sevice that’s fast over a WMS join the Web Tile Service mailing list.In the short term clustering and load balancing the WMS and putting a caching proxy in front of it solves most of the speed issues once the cache builds up+plus u need bandwidth.And did I mention that GE does not operate in offline mode.Setting this up is not rocket science ask all the data guys working on terabytes of worldwind data.And can u add DEM’s to GoogleEarth. If you have figured that out let me know.

you ever heard about “Punt” ? Punt is a Open Source multi-language Windows desktop application that allows the user to view the terrain of any world in 3D. Using open standards Punt can make use of data from the Internet combined with local data in common GIS-compatible formats. Punt started as a fork from the NASA World Wind project back in august 2005 – leaded by two developers (Bjorn Reppen[norway] and Dave Patton[canada]). Punt 1.4.0 Beta 1 (latest release) is fully compatible with World Wind’s Cache (nice to share the cached imagery) and FileSystem and has some very useful features which i miss in GE as well as in NASA’s World Wind. some highlights are: multilingual interface (en, de, fr, no so far), free configurable cache and filesystem (sharing cache or/and filesystem in a LAN fe.), improved code quality (compared to World Wind), no lead of NASA in this SF project (WW is open source – but isn’t open development), ……
for more informations about the Punt Project visit Punts Homepage (http://punt.sourceforge.net) and/or Punt’s Sourceforge Projectpage (http://sourceforge.net/projects/punt/)

Hey fellas, remember the days of tracking down DEM data, downloading Landsat from the U of Maryland server, figuring out which honkin’ dataset to reproject and hoping your machine didn’t bluescreen during the draping process??

I do, and those are not fond memories.

So let me enjoy having multiple globes to work with….
