As a user I want to see shapes divided on the date-line render contiguously when zoomed in on the date-line [Was: map: separation of easternmost tip of Russia]

At least when one zooms in, the entire Asian distribution should probably be on the same map and not one Earth rotation away.

I"m not aware that this can be fixed. The shape is divided across the international date-line. I believe this is done so that calculations (containing, near, etc.) can be done. Maybe we can ask at TWT today.

same for Alaska, it is also divided.

All shapes that cross the date-line are divided.

This looks also strange. Impossible to zoom in on both points together.

Would it be possible to repeat the distribution both east and west of the date line, i.e. repeat the distribution in each "entire world" view? Or perhaps use the International Date Line which is not entirely straight.
