I'm betting it's the switch from -180 to +180 Longitude. I've written several moving map programs, and mine don't handle the situation either. They're for land use, so it's overhead I don't need.

(said some stupid stuff above, like reversing longitude with latitude and 190 degrees instead of 180 - yeah, I do this for a living - sheesh)

You said yours were for land use. (I hope neither you nor your company are selling any of these map programs as a reusable component.) Anyway, the F-22 avionics systems would (should) have had a requirement for crossing the IDL as well as functioning at all Lat/Longs and altitudes. If the testing phase was allocated enough resources, which almost never happens, this might have been avoided. Although now I see other replies which doubt this really ever happened. Maybe this story is just another "tech journalist" getting the details wrong, which almost always happens!

That's my guess as well.
