Info

This add-on is an attempt to put together as much imagery as possible for use in World Wind. These are high detail orthophotos from public wms servers.

There are a number of variables that can be changed to fine tune the way the imagery is downloaded. These may change between versions which means that imagery may become obsolete between versions and will be downloaded again.
