    Info Neat find!

    Maybe I'm behind the times, but I just happened to come across a neat little web app that lets you display world maps in various projections and gives you a 3D globe view and such. Check it out here. I found it on an older blog post here.

    It's not super powerful, but really neat! There is some distortion going from a flat image to globe and such, but that is to be expected I guess. There are a few options to tweak and play around with and also an option to project your map in different projections. You can add a background image and even height maps if you have them.

    Here's a quick image I just threw together using a world map I've been working on and a random image of space I grabbed from google.

    This is no work of art put here for criticism, this is just a 2 second job of an example for the sake of showing what this web app can do.

    I just thought I'd share. If this app is old news, my bad.

    Enjoy!

    Just tried it. Very good for a quick look, specially, if you make a low-res image for this particular purpose. Recommended!!
