We are happy to once again after many years offer an official globe version of the Europe Map, which allows you to estimate distances between points and enjoy our map in beautiful 3D. Thanks to the high resolution of the current map, this should look nicer than ever. Please note that an "Antarctic" region is not yet implemented and as such the image does not wrap around it yet. Latitudes/Longitudes and everything here is expected to still change as the map evolves, but this is your most authoritative source as of this moment.

Using the 3D Map requires a computer with Windows, macOS or Linux. Mobile devices are not supported.

Instructions

1. Download Google Maps Pro from here (free):
2. Start the program and deactivate all layers on the left side, like so:

3. Download the Europe Globe File:
4. After having saved the file in a place you can easily find, load it like so:

5. Enjoy!

Like with the original Globe Map, I will eventually ask for community contributions for location pins in player countries, but at this time I just want to roll out the map and get initial feedback.

This might seem obvious to some, but this thread is not for map spot requests.

Nice! So... can we... use this for measuring distance?

The Pelasgian Empire protests the wretched globe-ist conspiracy. We remain committed to the eternal ideology of Demosism-Flatearthism.

I do admit it might be convenient for your clergy to put heretics on boats and send them crashing off the southern edges of the map into oblivion.

"It was round, until it wasn't."

Actually, that makes sense why the Post-Delegationists are so obsessed with doing freedom of navigation through the Long Sea.

Earth is flat. They can't sail West from Sylvania and East from Touzen, have to go through the Long Sea :owl:

I completely missed this in May. Sorry for that. Good initiative, and a retrospective thank you :)

Now hopefully I don't have to buy a new computer again, like for the previous globe ;)

Is this going to be done for the new map as well? If yes, may I request to let the current upper and lower edges of the map not be the top of the world but just 70 degrees latitude on both sides? 1. Then we will have room for an Antarctica if we want to, 2. then Fleur won't freeze too much, and 3. then the Gothic Sea won't freeze during Winter.
