I've found a lot of maps and videos of continent positions over geological time, but I've had difficulty finding some visualization where one can look from any direction. I've written a "Globe Viewer" app, but it would need to be cleaned up before release, and I'd need some copy-permitted set of maps to release with it.
I've found GPlates but it's rather confusing and it seems designed for professional geologists.
Ancient Earth globe - a web-browser version of that kind of app, one that can go back 750 million years, well into the Proterozoic. One can also type in a city name and it will mark out that city's location on the globe display. It doesn't label its marker, however.
Algol's Continental Drift and I added countries - YouTube - with national flags painted onto the tectonic plates.
