 QuadKey
 =======
 
-Quad key object used for Geospatial segmentation
+Quad key object used for Geospatial segmentation. Based off the idea of a quadtree and used as the Bing Maps tile system.
+
+Given a (lat, lon) and level produce a quadkey to be used in Bing Maps.
+Can also supply methods to generate a Google Maps TileXYZ
+
+Built off of the TileSystem static class outlined here: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb259689.aspx
+
+Converts a lat,lon to pixel space to tile space to a quadkey
