I am currently designing a global network of shipping routes. I am finding that when I try to draw the shortest part between two ports, using a straight line, the 2D view does not account for the curvature of the earth. This is resulting in incorrect distances. Is there any way that I can project the map in 3D or is their any other software that will allow me to do this? Thank-you, Justin ~~~~~~~~~~~~ List Sponsor ~~~~~~~~~~~~ Are YOU Playing?
