Description

Maps now only does a Web Mercator projection. It would be nice if it also could do polar projections.
For some maps, a polar projection is more informative, such as for a map of the research stations around the South Pole.

Research direction

Start by locating the existing Web Mercator map-projection entry point in the Maps extension and determine how projections are selected. Define the expected polar projection behavior for maps such as South Pole research-station maps, then add coverage for the selected projection and verify that existing Web Mercator maps still work.
