[OpenLayers-Users] International date line and bounds

[Craig Stanton]

Hi Ryan,
    I think that example is showing how to wrap a layer, which I guess I'll need later, but what I'm stuck with now is that my map won't move beyond that boundary, presumably because the MaxExtent is incorrect. In the example code no extends are set and scrolling seems fine, but when I leave MaxExtent off I get stuck at (0,0) and can't move the map around.

See:

Also, in order to quickly support full wrap around in a seamless  
manner with non-WMS data, I took the brute force approach of drawing  
my data multiple times at +/-360 offsets.

Cheers,
Ryan
