Description

Hi. Is there any way to make map infinitely scroll through 180 longitude? Also, when polygon crosses 180 longitude, it causes an issue that they are being drawn through the entire map from -180 to 180 longitudes. Thanks!

Research direction

Start by reproducing the longitude-wrapping behavior described in the issue: infinite scrolling across 180° and a polygon crossing 180° being drawn across the full map. Locate the map rendering and polygon-drawing entry points, then verify that both cases behave correctly across the antimeridian.
