    Thanks for the links!

    I didn't know what the MEDEM project was before this either. You folks have put in a lot of work!

    I enjoyed treading through that Outerra thread - I love learning new things. One of your (or Monk's) comments about working on real spheres instead of flat maps was the next major goal, and I agree; I've been considering this from the education point of view. With Google Earth, students (and everyone else) can finally see the Earth's physical and political layout much more accurately (especially with respect to size and location) than on 2d maps of the entire Earth, and it makes sense to me to begin using tools like this to teach geography etc. rather than the poorly projected maps in most classes today. I'm tired of walking into a classroom, pulling down a map (or pulling out a text) and seeing Canada the same size as Africa etc. Anyway, thanks for leading me to an interesting discussion!
