some test_geo tests fail on non-Intel architectures

[drew-parsons]

A subset of the same tests from test_tutorials.py::test_geoFiles fails on non-Intel architectures such as arm64. It looks like a simple matter of floating point tolerance, though a couple are integer tests.
The specific set is

For what it's worth, these tutorial geo tests pass on armhf,
