World Wind Android is a 3D virtual globe API for Android. You can use it to provide a geographic context, complete with terrain, for visualizing geographic or geo-located information. World Wind Android provides high-resolution terrain and imagery, retrieved from remote servers automatically as needed. You can also provide your own terrain and imagery. World Wind Android additionally provides a rich collection of shapes that you can use to represent information on the globe or in space.

World Wind Android v0.2.0 adds support for screen placemarks and navigation events. The World Wind Android v0.2.0 examples demonstrate support for MIL-STD-2525C tactical icons by using NASA World Wind's point placemark to display images generated by the US Army Mission Command's MIL-STD-2525 symbol rendering library.
This release establishes World Wind support for threaded rendering. Applications are now able to access World Wind components from the Activity thread without any synchronization, while World Wind executes OpenGL commands on Android's OpenGL rendering thread.
