3D Globe with Arcs
A 3D globe with arcs renders a sphere wireframe Earth and draws great-circle arcs between pairs of latitude/longitude points to visualize flows — flight routes, shipping lanes, data center traffic, migration corridors, or any directional connection between geographic locations. E

When to use this template
This visualization effectively highlights global origin-destination relationships and directional flows between distinct geographic points. Analysts use it to identify patterns in connections, understand the reach of networks, or visualize the movement of entities across the planet, particularly when the relative distance and path are significant.
- Datasets with explicit origin and destination geographic coordinates.
- Global-scale point-to-point connection data.
- Data where individual flow paths are important to visualize.
- Sufficiently sparse connections to avoid visual clutter.
- Coordinates expressed as latitude and longitude pairs.
- Optional: Numeric values representing flow magnitude or intensity.
