So I recently came across the Chrome Experiments WebGL Globe which I think is beautiful; here's a screenshot of what I envisaged though:
Demo
It's still in development and a somewhat stable beta version is demo'd at http://demo.joellipman.com/joomla16/index.php/joes-infographic-for-joomla
Limitations
- Does not work in MS Internet Explorer
- Is not working on iOS and certain smartphones
Advantages
- No copyright, watermarks and as configurable as revolvermaps
- Can feed any list of latitude/longitude.
Working on...
- Image Switch and color settings (done)
- Visitor log parsing programs for offline use.
