Click or doubleClick a point on map to know the logical or indoor area code of that point
Area codes like "Penn station NY m9:2 r7" consist of hours, minutes and radius according to following convention:
| element | meaning | details |
|---|---|---|
| StatusQuo NY | prefix of an urban position code | The urban pole is the Empire State building |
| m12 | reference horizon hour |
from urban pole to north, m3 to sunrise, m6 to south etc. |
| number after ":", e.g. m12:5 | horizon minutes, blue lines |
distance to horizon hour,
|
r..., e. g. r66 |
radius, red lines |
distance to urban pole, 1 unity = 100m |
This map converts lat/lon to StatusQuo on a simplified mode, tolerable for radius < 10 km. For a professional conversion, see VolksNav.com/mapplet
--------
The division of the horizon into 12 directions can also be used global or indoor.
example Penn station NY m9:2 r7, shown on map.
. 1 unity = 1 meter
This method allows to form codes for stop points, codes for lines and line pictograms, example subway line A
line from m12 to m4 short: line 12>4 (or 12>8>4) |
line from m4 to m12 short: line 4>12 (or 4>8>12) |
say "line 12 four" or "four 12"
