"""
Building footprints for the microplanning map.

Footprints come from Overture Maps, which is not in our database, so requests are served straight
from the source and cached. To keep that cache useful the requested viewport bbox is snapped
outward to a fixed XYZ grid (``GRID_ZOOM``): raw viewport bboxes are arbitrary floats that never
repeat, while grid tiles are shared between pans and between users looking at the same place.

mercantile 1.2.1 mercantile.tiles nan mercantile.tile source

💡 Result:

Mercantile is a Python library used for Web Mercator tile and coordinate utilities, developed by Mapbox [1][2]. Version 1.2.1 was released on April 21, 2021 [3][4]. Regarding the mercantile.tiles function and the mention of nan or specific return behaviors: 1. Functionality: The mercantile.tiles function calculates the Web Mercator tiles that overlap or contain a given geographic bounding box (defined by west, south, east, and north coordinates) at specified zoom levels [5][6]. It yields Tile objects (which are named tuples containing x, y, and z coordinates) [5][7][8]. 2. NaN Handling: There is no documented behavior in mercantile that specifically returns nan (Not a Number) for mercantile.tiles or mercantile.tile. The library uses floating-point math for coordinate conversions and typically relies on clamping or truncating inputs to the valid Web Mercator range (-180 to 180 longitude, and approximately -85.0511 to 85.0511 latitude) [6][9]. If invalid or NaN input is provided to the underlying math functions, standard Python floating-point behavior applies, which may lead to errors or unexpected results rather than a graceful return of a NaN value by the library [6]. 3. mercantile.tile Usage: The mercantile.tile(lng, lat, zoom, truncate=False) function is used to find the specific tile containing a single longitude and latitude point [5][6][10]. It returns a Tile(x, y, z) object [10][11]. If you are encountering nan in your output, it is likely due to the input data being passed to the function, rather than a return value produced by the library's internal logic. Ensure that your longitude and latitude inputs are valid numerical values.

Reject non-finite bbox values.

parse_bbox() accepts nan, and count_covering_grid_tiles() passes it to mercantile.tile(). The conversion raises ValueError outside the endpoint’s HTTP 400 handler, so the request can return HTTP 500.

Use math.isfinite() for each coordinate and add non-finite values to test_parse_bbox_rejects_bad_values().

non-finite value before returning the bounding box. Add nan and other non-finite
