Links - Google Earth Wishlist - Part 1 & Google Earth Wishlist - Part 2
While playing with the free version of Google Earth I started a list of enhancements that I’d like to see in the product. The desired outcome is to make it easier to use Google Earth as a spatial data delivery platform, without impacting on the collective end user experience.
Andrew’s writeup on Google Earth is excellent. Part 1 looks at KML and many improvements that would make using it much easier. Part 2 looks at Network Links, which at least for me has been the most confusing part of Google Earth. I guess I just don’t grab the logic of how it works, but I’m sure as time goes on Keyhole will improve it. I’m looking forward to Part 3 which should arrive later on WMS in Google Earth.

Why not grab a copy of the source of NASA’s World Wind and add those features yourself? It beats waiting for Google to add them. That’s the power of open source.

People like Google Earth for right or wrong. I’ve tried to get some clients to look at World Wind (or Punt for that matter), but they seem uninterested. *shurg*
