Overview
The 3D Globe Map module adds a fully interactive, animated 3D globe to your page. You can place location markers on any point on the globe, draw arc connections between them, and style the globe with different visual themes. Markers can be added manually through the built-in Globe Marker child items, or imported as a JSON data array — making this module ideal for showcasing global office locations, partner networks, delivery routes, or international reach.

Tips & Best Practices
- For a striking 'company locations' section, use the Dark Space or Night Lights theme with the Pins marker style and Animated connection lines — then upload your company logo as the Default Marker Image so it appears at every location.
- The Focus Tour animation mode automatically rotates the globe between each marker in sequence, creating a self-running presentation. Set the Tour Interval to around 3000–5000ms (3–5 seconds) to give visitors time to read each location label.
- If you have many locations, the JSON Import data source is faster to manage than adding individual child modules. Use a spreadsheet to build your location list, then export it as JSON with lat, lng, label, and value fields.
- Use different Value settings per child marker when using the Pillars marker style — set major hubs to 0.9–1.0 and smaller offices to 0.3–0.5 to visually communicate the relative importance of each location.
