A cross-platform flight-route globe that visualizes great-circle paths, measures each leg, shows waypoint weather, and exports a flat map for sharing.

Why it surfaced

Most mapping interfaces make polar routes awkward by fixing the globe's axis; this app lets users drag directly over either pole and keep going. Enter two airport or city codes, add unlimited waypoints, and inspect distances, bearings, weather, and route history across iPhone, iPad, Mac, and Android.
