No, not really. A UTM or Lambert Conformal Conic projection would give
you that, but you'd still have to modify OMGrid to handle pre-projected
data. I think the easiest thing for now is to inverse project your
data back into lat/lon decimal degrees.

What is your java heap set to? You should probably add a -Xmx256m
flag, or a bigger number, to the java launch script to give java more
memory.

You might also want to check and make sure your OMGridGenerator isn't
holding on to extra OMGraphics when the OMGrid is regenerated.
