Description
Example:
```python
world = gpd.read_file(gpd.datasets.get_path("naturalearth_lowres"))
countries = world[world["name"].isin(["United States of America", "Russia"])]
ggplot() + \
geom_map(map=countries) + \
geom_segment(x=158.634805, y=53.038483, xend=-149.863129, yend=61.217381)
```
Output:
But, how to draw a segment that connects points along the shorter arc of great circle of Earth's surface? I would prefer it to be the default behavior. When drawing on the Earth's surface, one may follow the same principles as in [D3.js](https://www.jasondavies.com/maps/bounds/).
In ggplot2 there are several ways to deal with such a problem. For example, you can use the function `coord_sf()` to change the CRS, or divide the line with `st_wrap_dateline()` and shift plot with `st_shift_longitude()`, etc.
