RE: [OpenMap Users] Double v.s. Floats in Openmap

We are currently having the same problem, in that floats are just not
providing the accurancy that our project requires.

We are currently looking into modifying or extending the OpenMap classes
without breaking backwards compatibility. We haven't started work on this
yet, just doing a bit of research on ways around it.

Any thoughts anyone may have would be welcome. Also, if anybody has done
work in this area before, do they have any suggestions?

Regards,

Laura

Subject: [OpenMap Users] Double v.s. Floats in Openmap

We use the LatLon and UTM points for some calculations where we project
points that need to have a margin of error of about a foot. We then need
to draw these points on a mercator projection.

Basically, the floats just weren't accurate enough. Has anyone else run
into this problem?

We have modified a few of the OpenMap classes to make it possible to use
doubles rather than floats for these features, but I wanted to make sure
that I wasn't missing something.

Thanks.
