Yes but the maps that wraparound both north-south & east-west do NOT simulate a globe. It simulates some weird geometry that'd give you a headache if you physically saw it in all its dimensional glory.
On real globes if you go around the top, you'll end up halfway around on the other side, not at the bottom  |
