i.e., beyond the typical web mercator square

this is only really useful for the south pole station

mrgriscom commented 6 years ago

this might run into problems as the flatness approximation to work around GL precision won't work at the true poles

mrgriscom commented 6 years ago

precision issues might be tractable near pole with calcs based on law of haversines
