This is an application based on NASA's World Wind.
The NASA WorldWind SDK/source code is here
At the bottom of that page is the Default Controls for that portion of the app.
The NLNww.jar is a 3D globe app for downloading and display of geo referenced images, it is an executable file that will run on most operating systems that have the proper java runtime environment (jre). Windows XP, Vista, win7, Linux and Mac.
NLNww is designed to interact with other programs written in C/C++, Java, Python or whatever.
No installation is required, just unzip it and place it on your hard drive, usb thumb drive, sd card or wherever.
It's recommended if run in Win 32bit use the included NLNww.bat file to set the heap space.
In Win 64bit just run the NLNww.jar
In Linux it's necessary to run with the included NLNww.bash unless you want/know how to handle it.
In Ubuntu 11.04 there is a bug (805298) running from external media in FAT format like a USB thumb drive
as there is no execute bit so the .bash file needs to be copied to the hard drive, give it execute permission
and modify it to cd (change directory) to your media where all downloaded images will be cached.
In Linux you probably need to install driconf and set preference->Image Quality->Disable S3T compression->No
If your system will run the NASA demos then the NLNww.jar should run with what is in the NLN.zip, which includes the jogl files and a couple NASA's Blue Marble images. If you are hooked to the internet other image tiles will be automatically downloaded. At the bottom of the demos page under Requirements you may need to update your video driver and jre.
The C/C++ .exe applications that interact with NLNww are:
NLNe.exe
This is included in the NLN.zip but may need to be updated as it is time limited.
GPSx2.exe
TrackReplay.exe
and DGPSmerge.exe
It's not required but it may be best to place these in ..NLN\NLN_C\
Just download and unzip NLN.zip. Place the NLN directory wherever you want.
In Windows find NLNww.bat and run it.
In Linux use the NLNww.bash file.
In Linux the .exe apps will run under Wine, use the .bash files for links,
this will cd back to the NLN_C directory for the config files, etc..
changes bug fixes etc.
