Hi Dave,

When you create geocentric databases with osgdem it puts on
osg::CoordinateSystem node at the top of the scene graph, this
provides an osg::EllipsoidModel that you can use to go between
lat/long and earth centered, earth fixed X,Y,Z coords and back.

I am a newbie to OSG and think I just need a little pointing in the right 
direction.

I have managed to build and install OSG with no problems on a WinXP target.

On following the provided examples I have managed to create a small viewer 
application that can load terrain and a couple of vehicle models and have the 
vehicles move around on the terrain.  So far very straight forward.

I have also managed to use osgdem to build a terrain model from imagery and 
DTED2 data.  Thank you for the wonderful support tools provided with OSG for 
being able to do this and many other geographic based tasks.

I seem to have run into a stumbling block in trying to figure out how to 
reference my scene using geographic lat/lon coordinates.  Currently I am 
positioning the models and such with what appear to be unit less values around 
an origin of (0, 0, 0).

I would like to be able to position my models on the terrain using lat/lon coordinates 
and to also center my view on the terrain using lat/lon coordinates.  I plan on using a 
single geographic Datum "WGS84" and Lat/Lon in decimal degrees.

Could anyone point me in the direction of a Tutorial, Sample or explanation on 
how to do this?

Thanks in advance for any help on this.
Dave
