Globe's latency is the same as Onionoo's, so up to two hours.  The
browser bundle map uses your local tor's network information which may
be up to two hours out of date, too.  So, similar latencies.

So, why are the two lists different.  Hmm...

For one, I just found that Globe lists the top 10 relays in random
order.  I opened a ticket for that:

https://github.com/makepanic/globe/issues/25

For another one, I found that non-running relays are listed by Globe,
too.  Opened another ticket for that:

https://github.com/makepanic/globe/issues/26

But I can't currently say what criteria the browser bundle map uses to
list top 10 relays.  Is it really by consensus weight and not by
advertised bandwidth?

Best,
Karsten
