Discussion
7 comments analyzed.
Competitors mentioned: Bar charts, 2D earth map
Concerns raised: Globe visualization limited to few countries at a time, High CPU usage with no additional insights, Navigation/panning broken when zoomed in, Map rotation not fluid, Flag state geography doesn't reflect shipping companies or voyage data
Feature requests: Zoom-aware mouse panning sensitivity, Show voyage routes or port calls instead of flag state only
