GEOSHIFT functions shifts a geoshape on the earth. It is able to safely overlap the poles or the 180th meridian.
- Longitude shift keeps distances.
- Latitude shift keeps angles, not distances.
- When doing latitude shift, you can specify a meridian to shift along this meridian. It means a positive shift became a negative shift behind this meridian +/- 90°.
Set precision parameter to zero for safe shifting operation. See GEO.WKT for precision encoding.
Use ->GEOJSON to visualize shapes and the results. GeoJson could be visualized on the map, if you let a special object on the map. See example.
