spherical mapping?
 

i know, i know, a noob question to alot of people.
but its been bugging me for a while, ive got a great texture of the earth, im using spherical mapping, and i cant get the top and bottom (the poles) to look right, it gets distorted. has anyone got a pic of how the UVs should look?

this link should give you some idea of how to go about doing it.
