#define __FLT_EPSILON__ 1.19209289550781250000e-7F
Multiply that by 360 (degrees in a latitude) and we've got and error of 0.15".
Multiply it by the circumference (not the diameter) at the equator of
40,075,017 m and we have 4.77m.
That's just one coordinate. The error accumulates with successive operations.
