[OpenMap Users] GeoArray.area redux

Hi

I am still having problems using area.

I've simplified my shape to

29.8 -80.7
29.8 -80.6
29.6 -80.6
29.6 -80.7
29.8 -80.7

This is about 83 square miles by my hand calculations, or 72 NM^2.

The value returned from GeoArray.area is -1.5712.

The value returned from Geo.nm(-1.5712) is -5401.4

I having a hard time getting consistency with other shapes

Do the points need to be in any order? What else should I do with square radians to turn it into square NM.

Thanks!
