Enable wrap around?

Open wolframkriesing opened this issue 6 years ago • 0 comments

Would it make sense to loosen the checks for lat -90..90 and lng -180..180 by building a "enable-wrap" option?

The world is round. It does not end at the dateline. However, most flat representations of the earth only extend up to 180 east and west longitude. This makes it difficult to visualize areas that span across the dateline, or routes that traverse the Pacific Ocean. It is possible to visualize a world map extending seamlessly beyond the dateline. By enabling wraparound on a map, the eastern and western hemispheres wrap around each other forming a continuous map, giving the impression that the map is endless. Panning a map becomes similar to spinning a globe.
