Thanks Ben.

Whilst mapping game coordinates to lats and lngs sounds like a simple
option, it doesn't seem the "right" way to me.

Lats and Lngs are surely angles, whereas the game world coordinates
are distance-based. If I were to shoehorn game coords into a latlng
system, and then they expand the game world, I have to re-shrink the
world to fit in the latlng system again.

Is there a way to do away with lats and lngs altogether, or at least
change the numbering system so that it is not angle based or the
number scale is different? Ideally I would like to modify the API to
use actual world coordinates, rather than some ghastly bodge.

By this do you mean the raising to the power of two for each zoom
level for tile coordinates (I saw something about that in the
documentation).
