Description

The world in azimuthal-equidistant projection, centred on you and turned to the way you face. A cyan ring sits one nautical mile out for every minute since midnight (one arcminute of great circle is one nautical mile), so at noon it is 12 degrees away and at 23:59 it touches the rim. The label names what lies where the ring crosses your heading: the nearest major city, or the sea, state or country there. Raise your wrist for 60 seconds of heading-up; flick during that minute for the whole-Earth view, where the vertical line is the great circle you face. By Globe & Atlas. Map data: Natural Earth.
