# I highly recommend that you if you plan to feed a large number of
# coordinates through this script that you presort your list by tile id #
# That will minimize the load on the FG tile pager since you will process
# all coordinates for a particular tile before moving on to the next.
# Also, there is a chance the next tile will already be loaded if it is near
# the previous (which it will tend to be if you sort by tile id.)
