I’m developing an application in Java. I want a fairly high resolution map/globe of the World/US. This is for an application involving:
* plotting where certain landmarks are
* plotting where certain earth quakes happened
* plotting where certain companies are headquartered
* overlaying a weather map
Is there an open source library for this? [Likely not given that map data is expensive.]
OpenStreetMap may be able to help. I don’t know if they provide for exactly what you need, and their maps come in XML or JSON so you have to parse them – but there are libraries for that bit. Might be worth a look though…
