Track jumps when crossing the -180/180 Longitude Boundary

[cpuguru]

I'm using moveVis to create animations of ship movements around the globe.

When transitioning from -180 to 180 the path jumps across the screen taking the long route around rather then creating the much shorter segment.

Is there a work-around for these jumps?

Thanks for that finding, I will look into it

Here's a link to a dataset that crosses the boundary if that helps...

Trying to implement the st_wrap_dateline() call against the data. Looks like I have to convert the data to a Line to do so?

I submitted the dilemma to StackOverflow & got a response on how to remedy the track portion.

Now I need to figure out how to coerce the results from LINESTRINGS to POINTS so that I can use them with MoveVis.

Please see #82 for a fix to this in case it is still relevant for you.
