| Mar 29, 2012 at 3:32 | comment | added | Mark McClure | I agree. In many ways this approach is necessarily unsatisfying, as it depends upon a map projection which must distort the globe. This distorted version is then mapped back on to the globe. Ultimately, a pure 3D approach would be desirable. I just don't know how to deal with the other issues you raised in that context. | |
