\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Testing sphere (earth), with latitude longitude positions.
\n(Texture is just thrown in there and sphere is rotated 197′ to get roughly correct positions,
\ntested atleast few cities)<\/p>\n

Maybe could use this with GeoIP, News location plotting, Weather news plotter,
\nGPS data, Twitter, GoogleMaps api etc..?<\/p>\n

*Code for the math stuff is taken from here:
\nhttp:\/\/www.actionscript.org\/forums\/s…957#post722957<\/a>
\nTexture from nasa images (said to be public domain \/ no copyright)<\/p>\n

Webplayer:<\/strong>
\n http:\/\/unitycoder.com\/upload\/demos\/latlong1\/<\/a>
\nDemo location is set at London (lat 51.50015, long -0.1262362)
\n(mouse orbit)<\/p>\n
