[Geocoding] indexSector()

[Brian DeRocher]

Hey there,

I'm looking at indexSector() in util.update.php and trying to understand this stepping concept.  It appears to me what is intended is if there are numerous places in a sector you break the sector up into a grid, say 3x3, 4x4, or 5x5, etc.  Then run the update on placex for each cell.

There are two things that are curious to me.

(1) Why divide by 10?  $fNumSteps = ceil(sqrt($iNum) / 10);  I feel this is why i see "Step 12 of 9".

(2) The upper bound on the for loops are $fLat + 1 and $fLon + 1.  That seems rather arbitrary.  Is each sector by definition 1 degree by 1 degree?

thanks for your help,
Brian
