- SiempreViernes 8y agoActually no, McMurdo remains a white sport still :(
- MattBlissett 8y agoThis is an unfinished demo from a while back, but I made vector and raster map tiles in a WGS84 projection, so McMurdo is included — though you have to find it yourself [1] I'm unlikely to work on the globe, it's cool[2] but we don't really need it. Maybe when OpenLayers Cesium[3] gets support for vector tiles, so we don't have to see fuzzy, distorted raster tiles.

- cup-of-tea 8y agoUnfortunately not. The behaviour at the poles suggests that the whole thing is merely a hack.
