How to display Leaflet markers near the 180° meridian?

Question

I am using Leaflet 1.0.0-rc.2+e02b5c9. I know the default is rendering all markers, polylines ... from longitude -180 to 180 as screen shot here:

However, I

Answer 1

Another approach is to leverage the Leaflet.RepeatedMarkers plugin, which will display a copy of each marker per 360 degrees of longitude:

Applying this to markers near the antimeridian works as well, e.g.:

var myRepeatingMarkers = L.gridLayer.repeatedMarkers().addTo(map);

L.polyline([[-85,180],[85,180]]).addTo(map);
L.polyline([[-85,-180],[85,-180]]).addTo(map);

myRepeatingMarkers.addMarker(L.marker([0,140]));
myRepeatingMarkers.addMarker(L.marker([0,150]));
myRepeatingMarkers.addMarker(L.marker([0,160]));
myRepeatingMarkers.addMarker(L.marker([0,170]));
myRepeatingMarkers.addMarker(L.marker([0,180]));
myRepeatingMarkers.addMarker(L.marker([0,-170]));
myRepeatingMarkers.addMarker(L.marker([0,-160]));
myRepeatingMarkers.addMarker(L.marker([0,-150]));
myRepeatingMarkers.addMarker(L.marker([0,-140]));

will display something like:

A similar issue has been encountered and reported on the Leaflet Github

The solution is to increase the longitude of your markers if their initial longitude is below 0.

var totalMarkers = markerPositions.length;
for(var i = 0; i<totalMarkers; i++){
    var mData = markerPositions[i];
    if (mData.lon < 0) {
        mData.lon += 360;
    }
    L.marker([mData.lat, mData.lon]).addTo(map);
}

Thank you all for the help. Actually, I am not using your suggested codes but I got me the idea to fix it.

This is my solution, hope it helpful for others looking for same solution: Screenshot that was solved

Always display the icon and its copy on the map (on longitude range you want, in my case, it is from 0 to 360)

makeMarkers: (item) ->
  markers = []
  markers.push(item.makeMarker())

  copy_marker = item.makeMarker()
  copy_marker.setLatLng( new L.LatLng(copy_marker._latlng.lat, copy_marker._latlng.lng + 360) )
  markers.push(copy_marker)

  markers

In Item class:

makeMarker: ->
  LeafletIcon = L.Icon.extend(
    options: {
      iconSize:     [25, 25],
      iconAnchor:   [10, 10],
      popupAnchor:  [0, 0]
    },
  )
  icon = new LeafletIcon( {iconUrl: this.iconUrl} )

  marker = L.marker([this.latitude, this.longitude], {icon: icon, zIndexOffset: 10})
  marker.id = this.id

  marker

Thank you again.

Just make sure that the longitudes of your markers are in the range 0..360 instead of in the range -180..180. See a working example.

i.e. instead of

L.marker([0,170]).addTo(map);
L.marker([0,-180]).addTo(map);
L.marker([0,-170]).addTo(map);

Do something like

L.marker([0,170]).addTo(map);
L.marker([0,180]).addTo(map);
L.marker([0,190]).addTo(map);

In other words, if a longitude is smaller than zero, add 360 to it. You might want to use L.Util.wrapNum(lng, [0,360], true) instead, if you plan to filter all your longitudes at once.
