Resumen:	The present article introduces the Glob3 Mobile, an efficient virtual globe framework, testable and freely accessible from the web and providing a real 3D navigation experience with smooth flying. We discuss the software design and the native code implementation for the family of iOS and Android mobile devices. In addition, a novel web experience is facilitated by supporting the globe through a WebGL compliant browser. Glob3 mobile enjoys a user friendly API that allows for testing and scripting new features on the globe. The paper discusses the software design, the technical rollout options and provides a comparison with other similar existing solutions. © 2012 ACM.
