Hello,
I found this wonderful site from Natural Earth.
I hope some one can help.
What I need....Google Earth globe with the nifty control widget, topographical imaging as with the default globe, BUT without the roads, buildings, etc when zooming down to street level and all of this in a C++ application.
Has any one done this?
I have found a sphere that may work...from 2005 and has errors when building with Code::Blocks...and I am sure a control widget can be made if necessary. My biggest confusion comes with how to get the map onto the sphere.
Do I use height maps, shape files, do I get those 2000 SRTM images from NASA?
Any suggestions?
Any ideas?
Any pre-made solutions?
Thanks,
Bill
