This is an application that displays satellite images of whole earth in Azimuthal Equidistant projection centering on arbitrary points.Directions:Double tap: Move the center of projection.Pan: Translate maps(only in the translation mode). Revolve maps around the center of projection (only in the rotation mode).Pinch: Zoom in or zoom out on maps(only in the translation mode).The button on the right side of the navigation bar: Switch between the translation and the rotation mode.Long Press on the map: Display the shortest path between the center and the long-pressed point. Also, calculate the azimuth clockwise from North and the distance between these points, and show them in a text view. When tap the text view, the text view and the path disappear.Settings view:- Center of projection can be specified in either of the following ways: entering longitude and latitude manually, selecting a city from a list of cities, getting the user's current location.- Select the unit of distance: kilometer (km), mile (mi), nautical mile (nm).- Show/Hide lines of latitude and longitude.- Show/Hide boundaries of countries.- Show/Hide names of major cities.- Show/Hide major airports. (Their names are visible when zooming in.)- Show/Hide concentric circles.- Change images: Blue Marble. Natural Earth.The maximum resolution of satellite images in this current version is 4/480 degrees per pixel. This application can be used in offline environment, but will be more limited in resolution.Credits:Blue Marble: Next Generation was produced by Reto Stockli, NASA Earth Observatory (NASA Goddard Space Flight Center).
