Hi Tom,
thanks for your fast reply. ;)

I'm not sure if I got the point: instead of saving the lat/lon-values to
my db and calculate the coordinates on demand, I should rather convert
the values into a plane-projection like the slippy map does and then
create my tiles and search index based on it?
Or did I completely miss the point?
Greetings,
Daniel
