G'day,
I'm hoping someone here can help me out - I've tried a bunch of thing and can't seem to crack this one.
Basically I have a collection of position data (w.r.t. WGS84) provided by an aircraft local to my area (Auckland, New Zealand). Occasionally when the aircraft flies off to the east this position data crosses the international date line -
so Point 1 at say -36° Latitude, -179.9° Longitude,
and Point 2 at say -36° Latitude, +179.9° Longitude.
The issue I'm having is when I attempt to display this data superimposed on a map in SSRS the viewport zooms right out to show the entire southern hemisphere.
On the extreme left I have 180° Longitude, in the center of the viewport is 0° Longitude, continuing through to -180° Longitude on the extreme right. From left to right my map layer displays South America, Southern Africa, Australia and New Zealand.
Needless to say the data I was attempting to display is invisible at this scale - however I'm assuming there are some points on the extreme left and some on the extreme right (with a lot of nothing in the middle).
What I need is some trick I can apply to center the map layer projection over New Zealand so that my report doesn't freak out every time the data spans over the date line.
Any suggestions around how to achieve this with SQL Server/SSRS? Many thanks for your help :)
