      Directions work fine, at that scale you can’t even see the difference between a globe and a flat map. It’s just zooming it out.

      You have to zoom out to see about 500 miles on the screen before the curvature would even be very noticable, and at that point you aren’t caring about the navigation in detail any more.

      The one travel related thing is getting a better immediate sense for why a plane or boat runs a particular course which doesn’t make sense on a typical map.
