[OpenLayers-Users] Options for fighting the 180 degree problem - any server able to do it? Other approaches?

[Roald de Wit]

Hi,

Please note that GeoServer's dateline wrapping solution only works for 
WMS layers. There is no official solution for vector layers yet.
At the Australian Bureau of Meteorology we are doing some work to get 
around the issue (with limited success). I'd be happy to discuss our 
approach and possible alternatives if there is an interest from the 
community in it. Together we might tackle this problem for once and for all.

Regards, Roald
