Ideally they'd show a map with a projection based on having the line drawn on it as a straight horizontal or vertical line in the middle of the map. So basically, a Mercator projection with the line being illustrated as its 'equator'.
That would require a custom rendering for each line though.

- ColinWright 9y agoGiven the length of the line over water, that would be a somewhat bizarre map.

- cookingrobot 9y agoI like this idea, and they're not in the paper. (The paper shows a globe rotated so the paths are straight, but not a flat mercator projected map). It should be possible to make one with this tool: http://mrgris.com/projects/merc-extreme/ http://mrgris.com/projects/merc-extreme/
