title: What are the distance units in com.vividsolutions.jts.geom.Geometry class?
body: <p>Our VB.NET project is using a Java library from Vivid Solutoins (com.vividsolutions.jts.geom.Geometry) to do Geometry calculations.  The help is here: <a href="http://tsusiatsoftware.net/jts/javadoc/com/vividsolutions/jts/geom/Geometry.html" rel="noreferrer">http://tsusiatsoftware.net/jts/javadoc/com/vividsolutions/jts/geom/Geometry.html</a></p>
  
  <p>What I can't figure out are the units specifically for the Buffer property, or any other distance for that matter.  My program is dealing with Nautical Miles, and the documentation gives no indication if the units are degrees, miles, Nautical Miles, Kilometers, inches, etc.</p>
  
  <p>Has anyone used this library who knows the answer?  Thanks in advance.</p>
