[gdal-dev] gdal2tiles with GeoTIFF which crosses antimeridian?

[lars.schylberg at blixtmail.se]

Hi,

I tried to reproduce your experiment. It seems like the command that produces "alaska_warped_sliced_at_180.vrt" is missing in your script.
I guess that step could be vital to understand what is going on.

Best regards

Good Evening, 
I'm just following up on this question from a few days ago with some more information and the script I am using which reproduces this issue. 
The example results can be found here at the s3 links below and are all generated from the same original GeoTIFF. The only difference is that on one of them I slice off all data left of the 180, the other one the map is left complete. The html files are set to the same example point and zoom level to show how that without slicing the file, the image quality is very poor. The one thing I notice is that if I include the 180 meridian, the number of tiles generated is far larger (46k vs 8k). 
Bad Results:

Good Results: 
http://halo3.net/alaska_tiles_sliced_at_180/leaflet.html (http://halo3.net/alaska_tiles_sliced_at_180/leaflet.html) 
Below is the script I use to generate both tile sets. It will automatically download, unzip and process the input file I am using producing the same results shown at the links above. 
I'd appreciate any insight into the issue and how I might be able to get it resolved? I'm still quite a novice at all this GIS stuff, but it has been a fun experience so far. 
Thanks,

GIS novice here. I have a GEOTiff that I'm trying to create tiles from which crosses the 180. It's a FAA sectional chart from the US used for aviation. If I slice off anything west of the 180, I can generate the tiles and they look good. If I don't the area of the tiles is super large and the resulting tile set is very pixelated. 
The source file is located here in zip form (https://aeronav.faa.gov/content/aeronav/Planning/AK_WallPlan_2.zip (https://aeronav.faa.gov/content/aeronav/Planning/AK_WallPlan_2.zip)) 
I've tried some of the solutions that specify to use the CONFIG_LONG option, but that doesn't seem to be impacting anything. The only solution I have come up with is to cut off the area which crosses the 180 which yields good results. 
I've included below the commands I've been using. I'm looking for any suggestions/guidance. I realize this is somewhat of a common problem. Even MapTiler had the problem, but they have sent an updated version which supposedly fixes it, but I can't afford that solution at this point so I'd like to stick to GDAL if possible. 
Thanks,
