[gdal-dev] MapInfo Geometry Precision Issues

[Murali Krishna]

I'm trying to create a MapInfo file using gdal ogr java bindings (version
1.9.0) with some point geometries.
However the geometries in the created MapInfo file doesn't actually match
with the values which i have used in creation.

For example, I create a MapInfo feature with a point geometry and with the
following coordinates:
X = 196153.123
Y= 272453.6789

When i read the same feature back, GDAL gives the following as coordinates
for the same feature:
X = 196153.12630125193
Y = 272453.67830354505

Any reason why MapInfo driver changes these coordinates?

Thanks in advance
