adding layers/themes--how do I do it?

[shaefner]

I work for the Earthquake Team at USGS, and I want to provide a service/text files via the Internet for plotting real-time earthquake information in World Wind.

Using XML (or another text format) would be perhaps the easiest solution, but I don't think World Wind supports this option. For the Keyhole viewer, I am using their proprietary .kml format (a flavor of XML) to plot earthquakes. See:

http://earthquake.usgs.gov/recenteqsww/catalogs/

World Wind supports WMS, but I can't figure out how to plot a WMS service that's not already on the list in World Wind. In the release notes, it says "Now interprets new worldwind://wmsimage= URI format." I tried something like this, and the link launches World Wind from Firefox, but it doesn't plot the eqs (and it doesn't give any kink of error, either...). I verified that my WMS service is working properly.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Cheers,
Scott Haefner

It will be great if someone can show you how we can use this data with worldwind.
If keyhole can use it. It should be easy for NASA.
