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. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google Maps API" group.
