    Does Google Earth do that kind of stuff?

    Nope google earth doesn't do anything like that.

    Your easiest choice is to use a flattened dodecahedron (20-sided die) map, sort of like the maps traveller used, and then glue the sides together appropriately.

    Either that, or just paint your map on a spherical object to begin with.

    But I want to be able to choose MY map and MY size.
