Hello.
Thanks a lot for your work! It looks really good. There will be a lot
of work to make use of the new stuff all over, but I guess things can
move over in increments over time.
Regarding LatLonPoint, will getLatitude()/getLongitude() continue to
return float and perhaps be deprecated so that people should start to
use getX() and getY() instead?

I used to think like that, but have recently read that floats will
only save you memory if they are used in arrays. Is that correct or
have I misread something?

In the solution to puzzle 8."Ground Round"
"The only time you want to use float is when you have huuuge arrays of
them"
http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/java/nutsandbolts/
datatypes.html - look under float.
"use a float (instead of double) if you need to save memory in large
arrays of floating point numbers"
Are you sure LatLonPoint.Float will use less memory than .Double? Or
will this only apply to things like OMPoly that uses arrays of raw
coordinate values?
I'll be offline for two weeks starting tomorrow. Out in the wilderness
using PaperMaps :)
