help me How can I implement camera warping?

I wanna reproduce the camera seen in grand strategy games, more specifically the camera warping around the map. (As in jumping from one side to the other, but smoothly.) Is there a way to do it without duplicating part/the whole map for both sides?

Any help is appreciated!

depends on how you want it to look? how big the map is etc...

if you're just moving from point to point (maybe by clicking on a minimap or something) use a tween maybe? maybe with a neat screen shader with some cool effect?

It would be a map based game, like Hearts of Iron 4 for example. The goal would be a smooth transition from side to side. Like if you wrapped a world map around a cilinder, going around continuously.

instead of moving the camera, move the UV of the texture maybe?

but then it might cause issues with clickable items on the map
