      If the x-axis spans more than 180° it is an invalid shape for $geoWithin or $geoIntersects.

      For example:

      // This is valid:
db.features1.find( { loc : 
  { $geoIntersects : 
    { $geometry : 
      { type : "Polygon" , coordinates: [ [ [1, 90], [-179, 90], [-179, -90], [1, -90], [1, 90] ] ] } 
    } 
  } 
} )

      // This is invalid (and will silently return no results):
db.features1.find( { loc : 
  { $geoIntersects : 
    { $geometry : 
      { type : "Polygon" , coordinates: [ [ [2, 90], [-179, 90], [-179, -90], [2, -90], [2, 90] ] ] } 
    } 
  } 
} )
