 > A work-around that I use a lot is to transform the longitude data to
 0->360. If your data is in postgis, recent versions include a
 shift_longitude (or something like that) that can be used to move the
 discontinuity to somewhere else.

 Hi,
 I'm testing this workaround and is fine for points, but I'm struggling
 with other geometries. Can you please post a working example for polygons?
 Thanks.
