I have a crazy, quick idea of how to workaround the 180deg longitude limitation with SH4. What if you wanted a radio station at 0degN and 175degW? You couldn't hear it as you crossed the international date line despite the station only being 5 degrees away.

What if you made two radio stations?
1, 0*N 175*W
2. 0*N 185*E

The second station is "off the map" so to speak since it's beyond the normal limitations of the latitude/longitude system but the programming might not care about longitudes in excess of 180 degrees.
