+denali7 Posted May 15, 2005 Share Posted May 15, 2005 yes, somewhat is right... it's kinda egg-shaped Quote Link to comment
+Team Wampus Posted May 16, 2005 Share Posted May 16, 2005 no its flat!!!!! Just because it's flat doesn't mean it can't be round...like a pancake! Quote Link to comment
+maxpower212 Posted May 16, 2005 Share Posted May 16, 2005 It's slang for "around the world". Quote Link to comment
George & Christina Posted May 16, 2005 Share Posted May 16, 2005 no its flat!!!!! Hmmm... not according to WGS84... exactly which datum are you referring to? Quote Link to comment
+AuntieWeasel Posted May 16, 2005 Share Posted May 16, 2005 We are trying to find out what the term "round world" means. No significance to me. Mister Google, he's not much help, either. Other than that the expression is used a lot in trademarks and songs, generally to mean "around the world", nothing stood out as a particular definition. Is this a geocaching thing, or a mapreading thing, or what? Congrats on your nuptials, btw. Quote Link to comment
