The real problem is that you can't tell inside from outside in a polygon that wraps the antemeridian.

- Groxx 17y agoAaah, yeah, that's harder. Hm. Personally, I'd just find the points that edges intersect the antemeridian, and define two polygons, ORing the results. Know if there's a reason that isn't done?
- wlievens 17y agoThat's the workaround, but that process is left to the user. Google Earth doesn't do that for you (since it can't know how to split the polygon, because it doesn't know the inside!).
