trail disappears if start point is not on map

[mikeinkl1]

as the title says... the trail disappears if I zoom in on an area and the start point is not in the zoomed in area.,

This is due to a restriction of meilisearch which wanderer uses to facilitate the geo search. Currently, meilisearch allows documents to only have a single coordinate pair.

For simplicity's sake, I chose the starting point of the trail. If you now perform the geo search and the starting point leaves the bounding box of your current viewport the trail is no longer found because meilisearch does not know that it extends beyond this single point.

There is a discussion over at the meilisearch repo where the maintainers state that they plan to implement a feature that allows for multiple geo points. However, there is currently no concrete timeline.

This looks promising: https://github.com/meilisearch/meilisearch/pull/5758

Now that meilisearch/pull/5758 has been merged, would it be an idea to take the effort to upgrade meilisearch and integrate the functionality of showing the part of the track that is visible on the map.

Hi all,

I have prepared the Meili migration (#655). Once my PR has been integrated, we can start implementing this.

Best regards.
