How to turn on the globe projection

This example shows how to turn on the globe projection. Creating a 3D globe view of your map requires only a single line of code. Simply include the projection option within the map constructor, specifying the globe projection.

The choice between Mercator and Globe can be done at different levels and moments in the lifecycle of the map, yet, unless stated otherwise, Mercator remains the default.
