Yeah, it seems like osgGIS is really focused too much on OSG. But instead of using shapelib for ESRI support I'd rather use gdal or ogr which is already used in TerraGear and is not limited to a single format. But I think this is something to consider later. For a first version of the map it should be enough to expose the data that is already available in the core. | Yeah, it seems like osgGIS is really focused too much on OSG.

== Misc == | |||
This is copied from various articles that have become obsolete now and which are considered for deletion - so none of this is currently planned, it's just kept here to help us assess whether all the required building blocks are in place, or if we should look into adding other building blocks. | |||
=== Geo-referencing === | |||
* ability to load maps/charts in standard formats, i.e. as ESRI shapefile layers (There are some plugins for OSG to deal with ESRI/GIS data [http://osggis.org/wiki/index.php?title=Main_Page]) | |||
* access to terrain via terrain API to query terrain properties | |||
* access to airspace via airspace API to query surrounding airspace | |||
* access to navigation databases (airports, navaids, waypoints, airways) | |||
* render to texture | |||
