@Stefan, SkyJUMP has only implemented KML write, although read should be
fairly easy to add. We use WGS84 UTM exclusively, so the (limited)
reprojection support was easy to implement. This is the reason that there
will (IMIHO) always be a niche for specialized JUMP variants like SkyJUMP
that can provide powerful (although less general) features by knowing the
exact needs of their user base.
@Nacho, I have an experimental Google Maps plugin, but stopped work on it
due to the licensing issues that Paul pointed out. It is a lot of fun,
though.
@Abhay, using OpenLayers would not change the license for the map data. It
would still need to be hosted on a web page.
regards,
Larry
