Using the center of 710 & 405 Quilt, which is in the Los Angeles Interchanges series, I constructed this beautiful globe.

Like Adams Morgan Earth, this globe uses the same tessellation format. Similar to the experiments I did with Polar Coordinates, I’d like to make a series of globes that showcase the differences in globes with respect to the tessellation process. I believe there are quite a few different types of globes I can produce, hence the name of today’s map: Interchangable Earth, which takes its name from the series and the fact that I can, without downloading any new imagery, make at least 300 of these globes using only my previously made maps.
Release Notes:
1) Please be patient! The tessellation is 7.8 megabytes and will take a moment to download and a moment to load into Google Earth
2) The size of the tessellation might slow down some older computers which might have problems loading an 7.9 mb file
3) The zoom-in capabilities are limited because the file does not contain close-up details
4) It looks best when every other layer has been turned off
5) Read number one again
