How does this work? You need to somehow flatten the globe into a plane, right? Are you just using a regular map projection? It says that everything is real scale in the description and that can’t really be true at high latitudes, right?

I used Web Mercator to flatten the map, so its "1:1" scale, but obviously not perfect because it is on a flat plane.
