Yes but I'd rather/in addition tell folks that if they're doing that kinda visualization they should probably be using cartopy.

That's a good callout, though I'll note that afaik cartopy doesn't have a true 3D view. It maps 3D points to a 2D projection, so there's no way to e.g. plot some orbits on top and spin around the globe interactively.
