        I like the idea of having some sort of dynamic data representation of earth, but im not a big fan of the nasa data.
        I like this model beter … Link

          @gizzmo this is also very interesting. It’s from the Himawari-8 satellite and almost live. there you could have very easily four different styles and you don’t need an api-key. I think your suggestions would be very complex to implement. What do you think about these pictures?

            So I made a small test here:
            [card:LukeSkywalker92/MMM-Globe]

            so I could easily make the image update every x minutes and make configs for image-size and image-style just by changing the image-path.

                @bibi I think you have to clone it to the modules folder. otherwise MagicMirror won’t find it. Just do it the normal way.

                  I’ll have to write a readme, then I’m done.
                  If you want to use a custom picture you just have to put your link in the config file and the module automatically uses this image.

                        @bibi this code utilizes WebGL which brings RPI to its knees. You can run the MM on a different more powerful hardware, though. As for the module, I have got a POC working on my dev box with a sample data.
