minus-squareominous ocelot@leminal.spacelinkfedilinkarrow-up47·1 month agoOr use the proper projection.
minus-squareteft@piefed.sociallinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up49·1 month agoYeah, like the Euler Projection.
minus-squareVictor@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up3·1 month agolol, accurate but a bit difficult to see a lot of continuity.

minus-squareVictor@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·1 month agoThe linked latitude longitude graph looked like it was all in a pretty straight lines though.
minus-squareUnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up22arrow-down1·1 month agoIt’s actually a curved line
