My application uses Qt. Currently I have it just reading a .ive file when it starts. This .ive was generated from the BMNG. I would like to keep using this for the app, and apply my maps to it.
I would like to have a menu option to allow users to import maps into the application. Importing the maps would be handled by a "Map Data Manager". This would also allow the user to see the coverage they have imported by selecting that type and the Map Data Manager would highlight the maptiles in a specified color. That is my main goal for now. I am doing this as a way to learn maps and OSG and 3D programming. I have always been interested in maps and want to do this to create a program that maybe useful to people. I have downloaded some SRTM data that is in DTED format. I would like to get this on my .ive earth on the fly. If some people can point me in the right direction on how I can utilize osgEarth to help that would be great. I am looking at the osgEarth Documentation as I type. Looks like more research.
