Map fights against you near longitude 180 degrees
Trying to show the map near the 180-degree longitude line is annoying. It refuses to view anything on both sides of it simultaneously, unless a) you're so far zoomed out that it has to b) you drag and hold the map there, but only for as long as you hold it.
It was already difficult enough trying to zoom in on New Zealand, with it insisting on keeping the country at the very edge of the screen instead of the more intuitive middle, but there are islands where it's even more difficult. Fiji's northern island Vanua Levu is right next to the line, and the smaller Taveuni sits right on it. You'd have to cross the entire world to get to the other side of the island, and scrollbar-zooming is really annoying when the map constantly pushes you away from the edge.
This is made intentionally to prevent infinite scroll of the map. The reason for that is that some users were experiencing problems with finding their points that were listed on the other side of the map (for example, they were scrolling to the left trying to find their tracks on the Attu Island, while it was on the right side of the map).
But I got your frustration and in the next release borders will be expanded so it wouldn't be so painful to use to see your location in New Zealand.
Hopefully, at some point I'll be able to use globe just as Google Maps do so infinite scrolling would be a non-existent problem.
