I eventually hope to use it as part of a level select screen, as the player chooses between continents. But it could also be used as its own game board.
[wip] globe with continents and coordinates
[wip] globe with continents and coordinates
Here's an early version of a globe I've been working on, and I wanted to share it because it looks cool. Latitude and Longitude range from -180 to 180, though latitude should really be limited to -90 to 90. Among my next steps would be to create a better way of drawing 'continents' on the surface, and fixing how the point can traverse the surface.

Re: globe with continents, and longitude latitude coordinate
As I have just recently found out how hard it is to make a 3D globe, I applaud your efforts.
For reference:
The hardest part was just figuring out the math for each point and then connecting the right ones for use in quads around it.
