Where 50 MB matters

A 52,428,800-byte file: exactly the size at which Git hosting on GitHub starts warning about large files, and about the limit for a zipped AWS Lambda package uploaded directly.

Testing notes for GeoJSON

Swapped latitude and longitude put points in the wrong hemisphere or the ocean. Test with locations you can recognise.
Polygon rings must be closed, with the first and last positions identical.
