  Description     : geographical earth map widget


It shows the earth as a sphere but doesn't make use of any hardware 
acceleration (NO OpenGL). So although it might look similar to 
professional applications like Google Earth or Nasa World Wind 
it's rather meant to be a small light weight multi purpose widget for KDE.

Upstream will probably bring out the first official release next week.
