I'm not following. It's lame for Microsoft to state that their Bing Map system is based upon a spherical Earth; with a spherical Earth coordinate system and spherical Earth measurements/distances?
Stack,
you refused to answer a simple yes or no question. so I will refuse to answer your question.
How very adult of you.
It's not a yes or no question. Here's a dialogue I made up as an example:
Question, it appears that according to many in the FE community there isn't an accurate, usable FE map. How should we go about actually making one?
Flat Earther: There is an FE map. It's called Bing Map. It's flat and I can zoom in and out of it.
Globe Earther: Actually, according to Microsoft and their documentation their Bing Map system is based upon a spherical Earth; with a spherical Earth coordinate system and spherical Earth measurements/distances.
Flat Earther: What are you saying, that the Bing Map DOES NOT COUNT as an FE map?!?!
Globe Earther: I'm just saying that it would be weird and ironic for an FEr to say that Bing is an FE map when clearly Microsoft says it is not. I mean it is a 'flat' Earth map, as opposed to the 3D Globe it represents in 2D, but it's not a map of
The Flat Earth. You know, that thing where people believe the earth is actually flat and not spherical...
Flat Earther: Well that's lame, you could say DOES NOT COUNT about anything!
Globe Earther: Well I suppose you could, but I'm not saying it, Microsoft is, about their own map system. And the entire purpose of the question, "How should we go about actually making one? (an FE Map)" is because apparently there is no Flat Earth map that anyone seems to know of that is either not at all accurate with reality or is not based upon a Globe Earth. If you know of a map that is both accurate with reality and is not based upon a Globe Earth, lay it on us. Job done.
