More on GeoTango
To be honest, I never really spent much time looking into GeoTango. I’ve seen their name in many places, but as with Keyhole I didn’t look too hard (note to self, PAY MORE ATTENTION). Anyway Matthew Hurst has posted a comment that he recieved from a GeoTango employee that talks about how GlobeView has evolved and how Microsoft might run with it.
The GlobeView tech will require some work to get it to the level of polish found in Google Earth, but with the resources Microsoft has, it should be a good kick in the pants for Google Earth when it is finally re-released.
the comment left by the ex-GeoTango employee was removed from the link above. When I first read it, my first thought was this guy is going to get in trouble for posting that level of detail…but good information none the less. Full OGC support is nice.
Let the GE, MS GT, AGE battle begin…
There is a new article on Direction Magazine site more about GeoTango and Microsoft’s aquisition.
