Orbit trace in 2D view warps flat map #78

If you are in 3D map and select a satellite to trace the orbit, it's fine. If you switch to 2D it's still fine.

If instead you go to 2D map then select a satellite to trace, the flat map is warped. I believe this is due to the TEME coordinate system rotation that's done when plotting the traces. I don't know if this is a bug in Cesium, or in how I'm using it. With out this rotation, the traces aren't where they should be.

If you switch to 3D then back to 2D it renders OK.

I don't get this problem with Mine. I will take a look at the code
