Does anyone know how to create an accurate buffer with Geometry.BufferGeometry() when the data is in Web Mercator?

I'd appreciate any suggestions you might have.

Thanks,

Doug

I figured it out.

One must multiply the buffer radius by the secant of the current latitude to get an adequately accurate radius distance.

As usual, I'm trying to take mobile way past what it was meant to be.
