I have two coordinates in the Pacific Ocean. One is on the east side of the antimeridian (51.8782997131348, -176.658004760742), the other is on the west side of it (52.7162017822266, 174.091995239258).
My objective is to use GMap to display a line between those two coordinates using the shortest direction.
Unfortunately, GMap only displays the line in the longest direction, a direction that makes the line cross almost the entire world map. That is the problem I am trying to solve. It seems that GMap.NET is bound to the antimeridian like a global map made out of paper.
Looking forward to your thoughts and suggestions.
// If you want to see the problem for yourself, here is a code snippet.
this.gMap.MapProvider = GoogleHybridMapProvider.Instance;
GMaps.Instance.Mode = AccessMode.ServerOnly;
List<PointLatLng> routePoints = new()
{
new PointLatLng(51.8782997131348, -176.658004760742), // PADK - Adak
new PointLatLng(52.7162017822266, 174.091995239258) // PASY - Shemya Island
};
GMapRoute route = new(routePoints, "MyRoute")
{
Stroke = new Pen(ColorTranslator.FromHtml("#FF00FF"), 2f)
};
gMap.Overlays.Add(new GMapOverlay("Routes"));
gMap.Overlays[0].Routes.Add(route);
gMap.ZoomAndCenterRoutes("Routes");
// Here is what you will see
