Is there a way to use vector graphics for this? To prevent loss if we zoom in. Especially if we have a LOT of locations.

I made the map with a mask in photoshop. I didn't use vectors. So we don't have vector graphics available.
I just used Maptiler because it is convenient. If you want to be able to zoom with a better resolution and no watermarks you will have to buy the pro version ($150 or something) which I'm not gonna pay.
If you have a better way of creating a browsable 3D sphere, let me know and I'll forward you my Photoshop Project files.

I don't have a better way of making a sphere, you really did a good job with both that and the map.
I could potentially make a "political" map in inkscape (where lines and basic colours are important and textures aren't). I could trace the continents by hand or if you have the continent outline layer I'd be able to trace bitmap.
ive got some skill in 3d modelling, and could give it a shot. is that map shaped enough to texture a sphere properly?
