           Summary: Use Antarctic Polar Stereographic for southern/polar
                    latitudes
           Product: MediaWiki extensions
           Version: any
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: Normal
         Component: Maps

(Moved from http://code.google.com/p/wikimaps/issues/detail?id=13)

For Antarctica, the normal projection used for OpenStreetMap is entirely
inappropriate.  Instead, when users request a map for a location at 60-90°
S, use the Antarctic Polar Stereographic projection.

(and this is such a case where World Wind imagery and other layer types
will be important)
