[sldev] parcel LocalID map?

[Jim Radford]

Ordinal: Only a few seconds for a full sim, I can map the entire mainland in
about 6 hours.
I like your maps, one question: why are they not scaled square as a sim
would be?

The class that generate those layers is something I've been working on and
will eventually make its way into libsl.

Anna: I'm pretty familiar with that area in the protocol and as far as I am
aware there isn't any easier way to do it. But a few seconds per sim to
collect the data doesn't seem to be taxing the grid much (we do throttle the
packets to help alleviate this)
