Natural Earth globe control
Grid InQuest II needed a way to show where a point sits on the Earth without calling a web map. The result is a small offline globe control, fed from the public Natural Earth vectors, drawn with the same Free Pascal mapping code used elsewhere in the project.
The test program above is the control on its own, running on Linux in March 2016. Country outlines, a graticule, and a simple land/sea colouring are enough to tell a user they have not typed the latitude with the wrong sign. The same globe later appears on the Grid InQuest II page.
