XNavigator is a Virtual Earth browser and viewer for http://osm-3d.org
XNavigator is the online viewer for the OpenStreetMap Globe at http://osm-3d.org and much more. It is an interactive 3D viewer and integrated client for exploring virtual city and landscape models. A wide range of interaction and navigation possibilities makes it easy to visualize and analyze very detailed virtual urban environments. XNavigator is the first application that supports the Web3DService (W3DS) service interface.
The project will produce a small standalone Java application which will allow a user to convert ESRI Shapefiles (.shp) to the Google Earth KML format. This will allow ESRI Shapefile points, lines, and polygons to be viewed in Google Earth.
