[OpenMap Users] Floats Vs. Doubles

Don,
 
Why did the architects of OpenMap choose to use floats versus doubles to
store point data? Sometimes I have a precision problem when plotting
geometry on the map because my source data is double value and the
coordinates get truncated. This is a problem when dealing with high
resolution satellite imagery that requires sub-meter accuracy, which is
nine decimal places I think. Do you know how many decimals a float can
go to? Is there a way to get around this problem?
 
Thanks,
