MATLAB: Geoshow cuts off grid data

geoshowgrid dataMapping Toolbox

Hello,
I have a global grid of data (nLat,nLon = 24,36) which I'm trying to map with the geoshow() function. However, it's cutting off several columns on the left and right side of the map. I've tried different ways of mapping as described in the help, but the same thing keeps happening.
Below a minimal example. What am I doing wrong? Should I use a different function?
Thanks & cheers,
lon = -5:10:355;
lat = -90:7.5:90;
[latM lonM] = meshgrat(lat,lon);
data = rand([24,36]);
figure
ax = axesm('MapProjection', 'eqdcylin','grid','on');
mlabel;plabel;
geoshow(latM,lonM,data,'DisplayType','texturemap')

Unfortunately, all the mapping toolbox plotting functions clip data to the map frame. If part of a line segment, patch object, etc. overhangs the frame, then that graphics object is not plotted at all. Sometimes not noticeable, and other times, as in your case, very noticeable.
The only way around it (other than preprocessing your data, via maptrimp/l/s and upsampling of raster data) that I know of is to fiddle with the exact limits of the frame to match it up to the boundaries of your data.
It might help to rearrange your input data to the same order as it will be displayed. For example, you get less trimming if you sent your map limits to [0 360] (like your data) than [-180 180]:
lon = -5:10:355;
lat = -90:7.5:90;
[latM lonM] = meshgrat(lat,lon);
data = rand([24,36]);
subplot(2,1,1);
ax = axesm('MapProjection', 'eqdcylin','grid','on', ...
    'frame', 'on');
mlabel;plabel;
geoshow(latM,lonM,data,'DisplayType','texturemap');
tightmap;
subplot(2,1,2);
ax = axesm('MapProjection', 'eqdcylin','grid','on', ...
    'frame', 'on', 'maplonlimit', [0 360]);
mlabel;plabel;
geoshow(latM,lonM,data,'DisplayType','texturemap');
tightmap
