I entered the following GeoJSON in geojson.io:
{
"type": "FeatureCollection",
"features": [
{
"type": "Feature",
"geometry": {
"type": "LineString",
"coordinates": [
[52.9548, 16.41254],
[-112.85016, 50.8102]
]
},
"properties": {}
}
]
}
This is a long arc, and on a spherical or nearly-spherical surface, one would expect the great circle route to bend towards the poles, as shown e.g. in this render from gcmap.com:

However, geojson.io renders the path as a "straight line" in the Mercator projection, which is not a straight line on the surface of the earth:

It would be better if geojson.io respected the curvature of the earth, or at a minimum had the option to do so somehow.
