Hello,

When I attempt to draw a GPolygon that contains one of the poles, it
often gets rendered incorrectly. Sometimes the area from just outside
of its boundary to the lowest latitude it occupies is filled instead
of the area that lies inside of it, and sometimes it doesn't get
filled at latitudes higher than X. The first effect is usually
observed near the North pole, and the second one near the South pole.

1) Can this be considered a bug; should I file it?
2) If not (Google does disclaim that GMaps in the default Merkator
projection isn't really suitable for polar regions), are there any
workarounds, aside from artificially limiting all latitudes with a
value like [+/-]84 degrees?

To see this behavior, go to http://www.spacetrackr.com, and either
watch the footprint of one of the satellites as it approaches a polar
region, or find a satellite that is currently in one of them and check
it to render.

Warning: the site is currently in beta and performs poorly on old
computers and slow browsers.
