How come when I click on the "locations" link at 10thplanetjj.com it shows a globe model map and not locations on a flat earth map ? Clearly this is incorrect and needs to be fixed asap.

Good point.
its Flat and Endless , what are you talking about? :)
but its the globe model. needs to be changed to an actual flat earth map.
It's not even a globe map. Great job. You are a joke smith indeed.
I think it's still a round earth map though, I have seen three or four different flat earth maps on these threads and they all look very different.
That's a bit of an issue which one do you use? I wonder if Google has an "official" flat earth map, big place full of smart folks at Google.
In for answers.
It's funny you should mention that Hewson. Its called the azimuthal equidistant map. It is as official as the un flag! I say that because that's the logo for the un... Also it is officially used by the USGS.Quote:

As official as the un flag you say? Well then we should use that one on the locations sections of the website.
Reguardless of the shape of the earth, that's a neat idea. Un sectors! It's sounds very "xcom".Quote:

It's actually the only map that has both true direction and equal distance. Sounds like a recipe for reality, eh?
You didn't read the discription? "Distances and directions to all places true only from center point of projection. Distances correct between points along straight lines through center. All other distances incorrect . Any straight line drawn through center point is on a great circle. Distortion of areas and shapes increases away from center point."
You conveniently left out important information, "Useful for showing airline distances from center point of projection."Quote:

Azimuthal Equidistant
Used by USGS in the National Atlas of the United States of America™ and for large-scale mapping of Micronesia. Useful for showing airline distances from center point of projection. Useful for seismic and radio work. Oblique aspect used for atlas maps of continents and world maps for radio and aviation use. Polar aspect used for world maps, maps of polar hemispheres, and United Nations emblem.
Distances and directions to all places true only from center point of projection. Distances correct between points along straight lines through center. All other distances incorrect . Any straight line drawn through center point is on a great circle. Distortion of areas and shapes increases away from center point.
Azimuthal—Mathematically projected on a plane tangent to any point on globe. Polar aspect is tangent only at pole.
There you go, and you notice of course the use of the word choices in the description?Quote:

But they are wrong, right?
I should underline the part about how any straight line drawn through the center point is on a great circle.
My argument isn't weather or not they are telling the truth about it, my point was that you made a snide comment about no one using a flat earth map. I showed they do. Officially. Now what they tell you how they use it and why, I don't claim to know.
this is awesome info , thanksQuote:
