[OpenLayers-Users] Wrapping vectors at the dateline??

[David Raasch]

Greetings All!

OK, I've managed to make a lot of progress since my posts from a few days
ago.

I've basically "recreated" the key core functionality that I had with my
application when it was running with Google Maps (only now, I'm using
OpenStreetMap and OpenAerialMap for the actual maps -- thanks for pointing
me to those!)

My map now loads up the data points from XML, plots them onto a Vector
layer, and, when you click on them, a pop-up appears giving details on that
particular marker.

The problem I've run into is that, when my map initially loads, some points
do not appear until you drag the map to the right a bit.  I've come to the
conclusion that this has to do with the "dateline wrapping" issue.
(Apparently, according to what I've read in the archives of this mailing
list, there's no functionality available to wrap a VECTOR layer at the
dateline??  Is that correct ??)

Has anybody written a work-around for this issue?

To folks who are used to looking at Google Maps (which WILL show these same
points continuously across the dateline), it's rather disturbing and if we
slap this on a wall monitor here, well, it's gonna look like we're missing
data.


Thanks!
