Global Pan

Global pan refers to seamless panning across the Eastern and Western Hemispheres when browsing the world map, achieving the same experience as browsing the map on a sphere while on a plane. After enabling global pan, the start and end longitude of the displayed world map bounds are not limited to the -180 to +180 longitude range; they change as the mouse pans.

This function is mainly used in special scenarios that require crossing the Eastern and Western Hemispheres, such as drawing global navigation or aviation routes and measuring distances across hemispheres. Click the Pan drop-down button in the Browse group of the Maps tab, and select the Global Pan option to enable this function.

Global pan has certain requirements for the map's reference coordinate system. Currently, the coordinate systems supported for global pan are: WGS 1984 in the geographic coordinate system and World Mercator in the projected coordinate system.
