    Description

      When drawing a path between two coordinates, you have two options:

      1. Great Circle (aka Orthodromy)
      2. Rhumb Line (aka Loxodromy)

      You can see the difference on this website:

      For the moment, only Rhumb Line representation is supported by the map items (e.g. MapPolyline).

      It would be nice to leave the choice to the user and to be able to switch from one representation to the other.
