Good to know... I think we could get this value down to 0.642cm if use the full 64 bit and don't skip the range from 180*10^7 to 2^31 (longitude) and from 85.1*10^7 to 2^31 (latitude).
But why stop there and allow ridiculous resolution at the poles? Given that the earth has a surface of 510,072,000 square kilometres, if you divide that surface in 2^64 almost-round shapes, then each of those only has an area of 0.2765 square centimetres, allowing you to address each place on the surface with 0.52cm precision!
