FYI - NASA has a project called World Wind that is very similar to
Google Earth. They've recently released a Java SDK based on JOGL:

http://worldwind.arc.nasa.gov/java/index.html>
I've downloaded it and played around with it, works great!
Now - I'm a loyal OpenMap user, I really like how quickly I was able to
customize OpenMap for my needs. I have not really looked at the World
Wind APIs to see how easy it would be to re-implement what I've already
done in OpenMap.
Maybe future versions of OpenMap could use WorldWind SDK, or current
OpenMap plugins/utilities could be added to World Wind?

Subject: [OpenMap Users] OpenMap and Java 3D
Hello All,
Just throwing out a thought to provoke any comments.
What do you think of this: Merging the Openmap API and Java 3D to place
the world on a Java3D sphere that can be rotated with a mouse (among
other behaviors) just like Google Earth?
This would take Openmap to the next level.
