You can do a similar kind of spatial indexing on raw WGS84 coordinates. It is more compact to store WGS84 coordinates as fixed-precision ints than as doubles (single-precision floats are not precise enough worldwide), and you can insert those int coordinates into an implicit quad tree in the same way map tiles work, just by shifting low order bits off. -Andrew _______________________________________________ dev mailing list [email protected] https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/dev
