I have been going through this course not sure what all the numbers in the parameters mean. I was hoping that it'll come up later, but it never did. Can I please get help on this topic.

The parameter meanings vary with what they are used on.
For creating a Map, the parameters determine the width and height of the map that will be created.
For a Point or a MapLocation, the parameters determine the location on the map (as "x" and "y" coordinates) that these items are associated with.
Does that make it clear?

231,269 PointsThese values are just unitless counts. I suppose you could say the units are "number of cells".
