worldwind://goto/parameter=value&parameter=value

Parameters

All parameters are optional. If a parameter isn't specified the current value is kept.

lat or latitude: Latitude to position camera (floating point number)
lon or longitude: Longitude to position camera (floating point number)
altitude or alt: The distance in meters above sea level to position the camera. Use this or viewrange. (positive integer)
view or viewrange: Use this or altitude. (positive floating point number)
bank: The angle the camera should bank. The user must have banking enabled in their World Wind settings. (floating point number)
dir or direction: The direction the camera is facing. From -180 to 180. (floating point number)
tilt: Angle of the camera to the surface. 0 is directly down, 90 is horizon (floating point number)
world: "Earth" is currently the only accepted value
layer: The name of the layer that should be shown. eg "NLT Landsat7 (Visible Color)" The value is case insensitive. Possible values are any layer text string from the Layer Manager -> Images

Examples

worldwind://goto/world=Earth&lat=-43.54642&lon=172.69009&alt=25883
