This is some code to plot flights you've taken on a globe.

Directly inspired from gcmap but with the following features

• higher (arbitrarily high) resolution
• output everything on a spinning globe
• easier customization / colorization
• overlapping trajectories result in a thicker, brighter line
• trajectories have some elevation over the surface
• much slower to run

What if I want to run the code?

See requirements.txt for the environment. Some special care might need to be taken for cartopy -- refer to cartopy installation instructions.

Other than that, simply edit data.py such that txts is a list of strings, and each string is a query such as one you might pass in to gcmap -- a very simple example might be txts = ['SFO-SEA,SFO-YYZ,', 'PHX-OKC,']. Play around with gcmap to get more familiar with the possibilities. Each string gets plotted in a separate color. For more plotting options, just dig around in the code. Use render.sh to dump all 360 views and generate a video.
