Re: [Flightgear-devel] Flight Tracker Bug

2006-11-29 Thread Gabor Toth
Hi,

  I've checked the data stored in the tracker DB for the flight mentioned 
below. It was continous, without the zig-zag. Then I've checked the algorythm 
I use to reduce the number of segments displayed for the flight path. It woks 
well. The bug is likely in Google's code.

  Pigeon: Is there a way to send Google bug reports about Google map API? 

Regards,
Gabor

 It zigs off to around Vanuatu then flips over to Brazil at certain
 zoom levels very strange?

 Looks like an obvious bug with the line (GPolyline) having the
 lontitude wrapped. Considering it's drawn correctly when you zoom out,
 and incorrectly when you zoom in, it *might* be a bug on google's side.

   Pigeon: Is there a way to send Google bug reports about Google map API? 

Normally people simply post onto the GMAPI's discussion group.

And just when I'm searching around the group I found these:


http://groups-beta.google.com/group/Google-Maps-API/browse_thread/thread/5f56b96cccbfda25/b4586520468d8751


http://groups-beta.google.com/group/Google-Maps-API/browse_thread/thread/92fab1e6631af936/9e62467c226756c0

So, yup, it's a GMAPI's known bug, they might be fixing it. And the
workaround seems to suggest some fiddling is needed with the
longitudes...

Hi,

  Thanx for the hint. I've modified the code to split polylines whenever path 
crosses lon=0 or lon=180 border. Now it looks better.

Gabor
