A 3D map of mars. Includes locations of landing sites and geographic features.
The map is relatively low-resolution due to memory constraints on Android devices.
Mars texture from planetpixelemporium.com
Geographic location data from planetarynames.wr.usgs.gov
I pruned the location data a bit to avoid clutter - there are 560 geographic locations:
-all albedo features
-craters with mean diameter > 50km
-other features with mean diameter > 150km
Requires OpenGL 2
Made with JME3, see jmonkeyengine.org
