First up is my new favorite blog to look through to kill time, Strange Maps.    There are maps shown on there that you just would not think of having or creating.  Kills a nice chunk of time when I start browsing through the archives.

workingDog has a first run release of a Ruber Band Selection Tool available for download and experimentation for WWJava.

The code allows various shapes to be drawn using the mouse. Shapes such as sector, circle, poylgon, polyline and a freehand shape. The idea is to use these shapes to encircle/select features of interest in worldwind. You can then process the selected features as you wish.

And last, but nowhere near the least, Pangloss has an update to the Worldwind.net Saturn add-on.  This update adds new maps and placenames for Enceladus and Tethys. You need to have Saturn 1.2 installed for 1.2a to work.
