<div dir="ltr"><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr">Hi There,<div><br></div><div>Let me introduce: I am Tim, a German living in New Zealand since 2001. I've been working at Manaaki Whenua Landcare Research, New Zealand since 2010, specialising on Web GIS software development since.</div><div><br></div><div>I would be happy and capable to implement this feature as I know Java and the middle wares well.<br><div><br></div><div>Before I submit an issue on GitHub, I would like to discuss this with you.</div><div><br></div><div>We are working on a web portal for the Pacific.</div><div><br></div><div>We decided to use Photon and OSM data for our spatial search capability. However, we found a problem with Fiji, which has both longitudes greater than 160 and smaller than -170. OpenLayers does not support this properly and cannot handle extents like this, so we had to hack it and accept longitudes >180 degrees for the map to work properly. That is a separate issue but related.</div><div><br></div><div>So, I hacked it by submitting 2 queries to Photon:</div><div>One from 170 to 180 and then next from -180 to -170 (ish) and then merge the results in the client.<br></div><div><br></div><div>Obviously this is not ideal and might mess up the ranking in some way, especially when there are less than n results in one response.</div><div><br></div><div>So, I propose to add support for multiple bbox parameters. I couldn't seem to find this working already</div><div><br></div><div>Does that make sense or am I missing something?</div><div><br></div><div>Kind regards,<br clear="all"><div><div dir="ltr" data-smartmail="gmail_signature"><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr">Tim-Hinnerk Heuer<br><br>Twitter: @geekdenz<br><div>Blog: <a href="http://www.thheuer.com/" target="_blank">http://www.thheuer.com</a></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div>
