This is the result of mapping the straight line path from a point in US to Poland using Distance Measurement Tool.
Also, planes from Asia to US would travel almost over North Pole.
Why is the path so curved? I agree that this is a flat representation of a sphere, so I do expect some arc, but I don't think earth has this much curvature.
What am I missing here?
