Cache map Data - run in offline mode?

Hopefully someone can point me in the right direction and let me know if this is something that can be done.

I have Worldwind running fine on a machine right now and everything works great. When I zoom in I see that newer data is being downloaded and the map is updated with this information...

My question is as follows: Is it possible to download this data before hand and store it somewhere? I need to be able to run worldwind while not being connected to the internet? Storage space is not an issue....

If this is something that can be done, direction towards documentation would be greatly appreciated

Easy to do, just put all the required data in the default cache or in another location you define and then set the offline mode to true, like :

        //Our own local cache
        FileCache dataFileCache = WorldWind.getDataFileCache();
        dataFileCache.addCacheLocation(IMAGERY_PATH);
        WorldWind.setOfflineMode(true);

Hope this helps,

Chiss!

Sure does seem easy to do, where is that code being place?

Just after initializing the WorldWindow component worked for me!

Hi

I am having trying to set my WorldWindJava to work offline setting my own local cache data. But I didn’t be able to do it. There is not clear explanation how to do it, specially using the last build of WWJ. I was not be able to find the WorldWind.getDataFileCache();

Also I will be very very very grateful if somebody could explain me how to prepare my own local cache data for BMNGWMSLayer, EarthNASAPlaceNameLayer(), SMRT and LandsatI3WMSLayer Layers .

Please, any help

Thanks in advance

I believe there is a property that in worldwind.properties that allows you to work in offline mode. I did that, and when I set it to work offline, when it would have said "downloading" it had a constant "no network" (or something along those lines.)

/*Edit 1*/under src/config/worldwind.properties, scroll down to the bottom and you should see "gov.nasa.worldwind.avkey.OfflineMode=fa lse". Set this value to true, and the program will work offline. My apologies, but I am unsure of the other question.

I am also interested in an offline mode. I cant find where worldwindow is initialized in my main. Are there any how-to youtube videos out there on this ?? that would be most helpful

WorldWind.setOfflineMode(true)

See the BulkDownload example. But please use it sparingly or you'll kill our servers (and use up your daily request allocation).

Just run a WWJ app when online to download the images in the area you are concerned about. When offline those images can be viewed and nothing else is required.
