Description

Hello, I want to get the maximum edge length of H3 cell at different precisions. It seems to be the maximum hexagon area in the webTables of Cell Statistics Across Resolutions | H3 (h3geo.org) , and there will be a certain error if calculated directly as a regular hexagon In addition, I also found that the API getHexagonEdgeLengthAvgKm is slightly different from the version of a year ago,which is right.
