I suggest a better map projection.

Globe. Or interactively rotating orthographic (aka digital globe). Sorry, there is no flat solution. You either have to do a ridiculous amount of slicing (Dymaxion, Waterman Butterfly) or just end up with a projection that distorts other parts of the world and isn't much better than Mercator with arbitrary poles. Yes, some preserve scale better than Mercator but none do great circles consistently well.
