#2Very smooth. And it seems you can tilt the angle of the plane so you are almost at street level. I haven't seen that yet on google/apple maps etc.

#3Something is wrong with navigation on my machine. Mouse movements are opposite my expectation (I guess just a preference), and the movements are so sensitive it jumps around a lot and I can't really navigate where I intend to. I'm on an iMac w/magic mouse.

The magic mouse is really bad with maps. I get the same problem with Google Map.
As for the direction of the movement, think of it as pushing a globe and not moving a camera.

#5Works very well on my iPhone 6S+.

Linux with a touchpad, here, and yes the movements appears to accelerate at a ridiculous rate for me. It's by far the worst navigation I've experienced on a map.

I am on a Macbook Pro w. magic mouse in Safari. I don't think it works as intended.

It's not the style of navigation that feels weird. It feels like they're doing the usual arcball but with some weird multiplier attached to rotations so it doesn't feel 1:1 but something like 1:4.
It's really obvious if you zoom out enough to see the entire globe and grab one horizon then drag it 180 degrees to the other. The globe rotates almost twice in that span instead of ~1/2 rotation.
Edit: or at least it does on my PC and phone.

#9Wow, looks and feels great! Better than Google!

#10For Jollyturns (https://jollyturns.com) I'd like to overlay my users' ski tracks data, as well as various ski resort objects (lifts, runs etc) on a 3D Earth, to be displayed inside a browser.
Why would I use Melown instead of CesiumJS (https://cesiumjs.org/)? Especially since the latter appears to be free?
