minus-squareominous ocelot@leminal.spacelinkfedilinkarrow-up47·2 months agoOr use the proper projection.
minus-squareteft@piefed.sociallinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up49·2 months agoYeah, like the Euler Projection.
minus-squareVictor@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up3·2 months agolol, accurate but a bit difficult to see a lot of continuity.

minus-squareVictor@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·2 months agoThe linked latitude longitude graph looked like it was all in a pretty straight lines though.
