MapInfo stores coordinates in 32 bit integers (binary tab format), and
converts them back into floating point when loading data. The conversion
is done taking the boundary into account. The greater the boundary, the
lower the precision. That's why lat/lon coordinates are stored with
great

The mapinfo driver is not known for creating datasets with good precision.
Projected coordinates can have an error of up to 0.02

For example, I create a MapInfo feature with a point geometry and wi
