Leaflet: Error in geoJson overlay at Russia Finland border

Question

I\'m using the 1:50m Cultural Vectors shape file from naturalearthdata.com.

I use ogr2ogr to create a geoJson file with the following command:

ogr2og         


        

Answer 1

What happens if you use the geoJson? For admin 0 level geographies like this (country level) a geoJson might suffice in terms of detail. It sounds like something is being lost when you go from geo -> topo?

Answer 2

So... this is a known issue on leaflet, I solved this way:

    function onEachShapeFeature(feature, layer){
        var bounds = layer.getBounds && layer.getBounds();
        // The precision might need to be adjusted depending on your data
        if (bounds && (Math.abs(bounds.getEast() + bounds.getWest())) < 0.1) {
            var latlongs = layer.getLatLngs();
            latlongs.forEach(function (shape) {
                shape.forEach(function (cord) {
                    if (cord.lng < 0) {
                        cord.lng += 360;
                    }   
                }); 
            }); 
            layer.setLatLngs(latlongs);
        }
    }
    var countries = L.geoJson(data, {
            onEachFeature: onEachShapeFeature,
    });

I know that is hacky... but was the best way I found.
