Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for dynamically displaying a projection sensitive path on a two-dimensional representation of a three-dimensional object. In one aspect, a path is dynamically displayed between at least two geographic locations. A two-dimensional representation of three-dimensional geographic data is displayed, and a user input is received specifying an initial location on the two-dimensional representation. Additional user input is received specifying a number of intermediate locations and terminating with a final location. While receiving the additional user input, either a great circle path or rhumb line is dynamically displayed extending from the initial location toward each of the intermediate locations and ultimately terminating at the final location.
