[udig-devel] Integrate Google maps with Udig

Direct access to the Google Maps and Google Earth tiles is verboten.
Unless you also embed a Javascript interpreter in uDig so you can use
their Javascript API and an API key.

I heard at one time that direct access to Virtual Earth tiles was
allowed, and there is a Worldwind plug-in that did that: not sure if
it is still legal.

You can of course do direct access of all the NASA data, which is voluminous.
You can also direct access the Open Street Map tiles.
