I downloaded and ran the latest released version of the WWJ SDK available for download at the World Wind Java site - 20070817. I was pleasantly surprised when I saw the 2D location map and the distance meter added to the window by default. Cool less that I have to do. I was thinking of doing a tutorial on how to add those things.

Also, I should add that if you want to find even later releases and release announcements head over to the forum http://forum.worldwindcentral.com/forumdisplay.php?f=43. This will have the latest releases for you to try out.
