Essentially I would like to reopen #1400 as the documentation sentence introduced there is too vague.
The documentation reads:
There are a few limitations :
- only works with areas up to half the size of the globe ;
- certain large polygons may return negative values.
As someone who would like to use this function, this doesn't give me enough information to judge whether I can use the function or not:
- What is "large"? City size? Country size? Half the world (as possibly suggested by the bulletpoint above)?
- In which "certain" cases does this happen? When located near the poles or maybe across the antimeridian? When the polygon has a funny shape? Simply when exceeding a certain size?
It would be nice to provide a more concrete wording, e.g. (if correct):
large polygons over X m^2 return negative values
