Latitude grid spacing (m)
R pi/180 ×10^−decimal places.
Longitude grid spacing (m)
Latitude spacing×abs(cos(latitude)).
Maximum rounding displacement (m)
Half grid-cell diagonal under local spherical approximation.

Assumptions & limits
Assumptions & limits
- Decimal places, latitude, earth model. Returns Approximate coordinate quantization distance. All coefficients and observations are user supplied; results describe only the stated mathematical model. Quantities are deterministic calculations from supplied observations and assumptions; no external data is fetched. Supported limits: Finite inputs only; numeric fields bounded as labelled. Lists and JSON records are limited to 256 entries unless a stricter tool bound is stated. No automatic design approval, legal conclusion, treatment recommendation or safety certification. Decimal places: minimum 0, maximum 12. Latitude (degrees): minimum -90, maximum 90. Spherical earth radius (m): minimum 1e-12, maximum 1000000000000.0.
