Remove decommissioned USGS Ortho layers #36

Closed emxsys closed 7 years ago

emxsys commented 7 years ago

The USGS Urban Area Ortho and USGS Digital Ortho layers are no longer available. The USGS Urban Area Ortho should be removed from the default layer list.

The USGS EROS Ortho layer is a reasonable alternative (or arguably better) layer for both of the obsolete layers. The USGS EROS Ortho layer was decommissioned 12/2/2016. See this announcement from the USGS: https://www.usgs.gov/news/usgs-national-map-orthoimagery-map-services-transition-and-other-map-service-changes

emxsys commented 7 years ago

The USGSUrbanAreaOrthoLayer.xml has been removed from the worldwind.layer.xml file. The USGS Urban Area Ortho layer is no longer available in the default layer list.

The USGSDigitalOrthoLayer.xml and USGSUrbanAreaOrthoLayer.xml layer configuration files have been marked as deprecated with comments. The layer configuration files remain in the SDK to support clients with pre-existing caches that reference these layers.
