GEOCP seeks to aid disaster responders by automating this process. This approach, however, is tedious and prone to errors. The conventional way to do this is to manually “fly” over the disaster area with Google Earth. Consequently, responders who wish to use Google Earth in the field have to be sure that the Google Earth cache contains data that they will need. While responders may have good Internet access at their point of origin, they generally will not have access once they deploy to the field. The ability to visit cached places without Internet access is of particular value to disaster responders. When finished, the user is free to disconnect the network and continue to view the area. GEOCP then commands Google Earth to view the requested area in a lawnmower pattern, which has the side effect of bringing those areas into the Google Earth cache.

While connected to the Internet, the user specifies a latitude/longitude box, and a desired height above the ground.

The Google Earth Offline Cache Pre-loader (GEOCP) is a tool that allows users to specify a region to cache, and controls Google Earth to automatically and systematically fill the Google Earth cache. The Google Earth cache is filled as the user interacts with Google Earth (i.e., flying and zooming the interface).

An integral part of Google Earth is a built-in “cache” that is stored locally on the user’s computer, and allows the user to later revisit previously viewed regions (even if the network link is disrupted or unavailable). Google Earth is a geospatial browser produced by Google that allows interactive exploration of the world from data servers on the Internet. Ames Research Center, Moffett Field, California
