Hi Mark,
There are a couple of ways to do this.
The com.bbn.openmap.geo.Intersection.polyInterset(float[], float[])
does vector math to work in lat/lon space. Also, if you are working
with OMPolys, you can get the Shape from them after they have been
generated. From there, you can use the Java 2D API to ask those
questions. Right away, you can ask of their bounding boxes intersect.
For a more precise answer, you have to create Areas and ask if they
intersect, but that's an expensive question, use it sparingly.
- Don
