Circular Map with You in the Middle

AI Analysis
●●SolidRabbit HoleWizardry
Earth stays fully visible while zooming—clever projection math, mostly a novelty.
Strengths
- •Circular projection with persistent Earth visibility is technically interesting cartography.
- •Multiple map sources (Mapbox, Google Satellite, Google Roadmap) give user choice.
- •Hub selection feature lets users center the projection on different locations globally.
Weaknesses
- •Explicitly a webtoy with no practical use case beyond exploration and curiosity.

Post Description
A webtoy I have been building. When you zoom in, the whole earth remains visible, with higher and higher scales towards the middle.
