@SiennaTheGr8 the SR Globe you linked to recently is a wonderful visualization aid.

I was hoping to find an app that is a virtual version, but I haven't been able to, all I've been able to find are relatively uninspiring single point calculators that are about as engaging as converting lbs to kg.

Are you aware of any virtual SR globes?

It won't work too well on a touch screen, I'm afraid, although you can certainly look at the canned scenarios generated by the buttons at the bottom of the page.
