Your data

Your data must be properly formatted.  See the other page for guidelines.

These are the most important concepts regarding you data:

  • It must be in the proper projection & size
  • It may cover only part of the globe, but the full globe will be displayed.

You may update your data whenever you like.

Text for the podlum

In front of the Globe is a touchscreen on a podium.  The touchscreen allows people to rotate the globe and learn about the data being presented.  You are required to have a text screen describing your data and research.
