Select Date Line Wrapping if you want to cut polylines that go completely around the Earth.NoteDate Line Wrapping requires a reload of the map. This is necessary to recompute each polygon in the map to ensure that they do not cover a large distance on the map, and also to "cut" any such areas into two or more subareas. This is carried out only when the coordinate system changes.
