Expected Behavior

Not sure if it's possible, but it would be great to see less abstraction at the poles.

I suppose this is a limitation of a Mercator based tile service, there are no data to display. For non-tiled global images though, is it possible to support equirectangular images in image source? Sample image https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Whole_world_-_land_and_oceans_12000.jpg
