Russia is on both side of the map

Hi, as you can see in my attached photo, Russia in on both sides of the map.
Sorry if this is a noob question...

Just started to learn :D

Thanks,

That's a fairly typical representation.

As @Downchuck said this is a common pattern.

You can change the center position of the map if you like, eg to start with Alaska, not Russia on the very left you can use:

var map = new Datamap({
    element: document.getElementById('container'),
    setProjection: function(element) {
        var projection = d3.geo.equirectangular().center([14, 0]);
        var path = d3.geo.path().projection(projection);

        return {path: path, projection: projection};
    }
});

Hope this helps.

Closing since @justmarkup provided a workaround

I hope this will be of some help for people coming around with this issue. The solution will be
var width = document.getElementById('map').offsetWidth; var height = width; // render map var map = new Datamap({ element: document.getElementById('map'), //projection: "mercator", setProjection: function(element) { var projection = d3.geo.mercator().translate([(width/2), (height/2)]).scale( width / 2 / Math.PI).rotate([-11,0]); //d3.geo.mercator().center([10,60]).scale(100); var path = d3.geo.path().projection(projection); return {path: path, projection: projection}; } });
