Tiles

These "tiles" can be downloaded using the World Wind Map Tile System. A temporary PHP script was set up at mcfly.com to convert latitude and longitude to appropriate tile requests. See for example http://www.mcfly.org/coord/27.975472/-82.53325, which lists tiles for the Tampa International Airport at (27.975472, -87.53325).

WMS

To download this information you need to use WMS.

Mirrors

Mirrors have been set up to divert some of the load from the NASA servers. See http://www.worldwindcentral.com/wiki/Mirrors for the current list of mirrors.

Type A Servers

Some mirrors are designated "Type A Servers". These servers must be able to host at minium:

In order to be considered a Type A Server, there are also the following requirements:

  • minimum 20 megabits bandwidth
  • A RAID array
  • Enough space to hold at least the four datasets specified above
  • Shell access (user)
  • A File system that can handle Millions of files (We use ReiserFS and UFS)

Also preferred are the following:

  • A server dedicated to World Wind's use
  • 24x7 on site staff
  • Extra space is preferred for extra data
