What package is used to display the globe?

  Mapbox GL JS https://docs.mapbox.com/mapbox-gl-js/guides/ https://docs.mapbox.com/mapbox-gl-js/guides/

    Ouch, I hope GPSJam has a deal with them... Mapbox's pricing for this would be insane (for a hobby site) if you got a lot of attention... $1 per 200 page loads once you breach the free tier -- though I'll admit the free tier looks generous for a small hobby site.

      No deal. I get 50,000 map loads per month for free, and have only exceeded that once. That time, mapbox did give me a freebie because they liked the project.

        MapTiler is _way_ cheaper and a bit more ethical. Also: you can double dip. When the free tier of mapbox runs out, swap over to MapTiler/StadiaMaps or any other provider of vector tiles.

    Is there a good free one I can use on a local server?

      https://maplibre.org/ https://maplibre.org/ is a free fork of Mapbox v1.x before they brought in their licensing model.

        It seems to zoom out as flat map, I was looking for something that zoom outs to a globe.
