[edit] Introduction
The Africam add-on shows the location of the Cameras from the Africam website, Africa's leading on-line wildlife viewing site.
The data in this add-on was provided by MadMappers and Africam.
[edit] Installation
- Using the self installing exe -
- Double click 'WorldWind_1.4_SWALIM_Somalia_1.2.exe' and follow the on-screen prompts.
- When the installer has completed you are ready to run World Wind.
[edit] Usage
- Load World Wind, you will see new icons over Africa.
- Each camera is shown by an arrow which points in the approximate direction the camera is facing, moving the mouse over an arrow gives you the cameras name and a brief description of that camera, clicking an arrow will open that cameras view in World Wind's internal browser.
[edit] Notes
- There is a bug in World Wind 1.4 where clicking an icon or layer name which opens the internal browser gives the following message box
just click 'OK' and World Wind will continue normally.
This was a debug message inadvertently left in 1.4 and does not have any adverse effects.
- If most of the camera views are black it is most likely night time in Africa, check at a different time of day.
- The camera positions are not totally accurate, this will be improved in a future release when we receive GPS positions from Africam.
