Questions about the spinning globe

What data do I need for a spinning globe?

Three columns: from, to, and a number. Use cities, countries, US states or UK regions. The globe turns while particles fly along each route; drag it to spin it yourself. Paste it from Excel or Google Sheets, upload a CSV, or connect a live Google Sheet.

When should I use a spinning globe?

Use it for global trade, travel or supply chains, especially in videos and presentations.

What's the most common mistake with a spinning globe?

Expecting every route on screen at once. Half the globe faces away, so drag it, or put the story's main place first.

Can I animate it, download it or put it in PowerPoint?

Yes. Press Play to animate it, record an MP4 or GIF, or download a PNG, SVG or PowerPoint file. In PowerPoint it's added as a high-resolution image. It's free, with no sign-up.
