More Add-Ons for NASA's World Wind Digital Globe Continue to Hit the Streets: Rampart Lion Imagery; GPS2WorldWind; PhotoGlobe

The already massive list of add-ons for the NASA/open source 3D digital globe continues to grow.

1) Rampart Lion Imagery

The digital imagery in this add-on, consisting of ~32 000 individual ortho-photos, was collected by the Naval Research Laboratory (NRL) during Project Rampant Lion I (June-August, 2006). The project was a cooperative research program conducted by NRL and the US Geological Survey, and primarily funded by the Government of Afghanistan with some additional support from the Office of Naval Research and other US Government agencies (see the attached preprint article describing the project, sensors, and data acquisition).

2) PhotoGlobe provides an installable Add-On, which indicates the photo positions offered at the PhotoGlobe Web site by flags displayed on the WorldWind surface.

3) GPS2WorldWind
Features include:
+ Create and display tracks, routes and waypoints
+ Transfer waypoints, routes and tracks from/to your Garmin GPS device (USB and RS232/serial)
+ Import Tracks, Waypoints and Routes from GPX, PCX5, OziExplorer or Google Map (KML)

and more.
