VolksNav in Osaka
Click or doubleClick a point on map to know the EXPO or the urban area code of that point
Area codes like "Umeda station Osaka m10:3 r31" consist of hours, minutes and radius according to following convention:
| element | meaning | details |
|---|---|---|
| StatusQuo Osaka | prefix of an urban position code | The urban pole is the Osaka castle  |
| 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.
The map also shows the stations of the Midosuji and Chuo lines. Compare hour and radius on example Midosuji:
| name | "hour" | radius |
|---|---|---|
| Nakamozu | m6:20 | r147 |
| Shinkanaoka | m6:10 | r133 |
| Kitahanada | m6:10 | r117 |
| Abiko | m6:12 | r99 |
| Nagai | m6:12 | r86 |
| Nishitanabe | m6:10 | r74 |
| Showacho | m6:8 | r61 |
| Tennoji | m6:10 | r46 |
| Dobutsuen-mae | m6:20 | r47 |
| Daikokucho | m7:5 | r43 |
| Namba | m7:10 | r34 |
| Shinsaibashi | m8 | r27 |
| Hommachi | m8:8 | r26 |
| -----------------------------------transition north / south | ||
| Yodoyabashi | m9:6 | r24 |
| Umeda | m10:3 | r31 |
| Nakatsu | m10:7 | r40 |

| Shin-Osaka | m11:5 | r56 |
| Higashimikuni | m11:8 | r65 |
| Esaka | m11:17 | r84 |
| Pictograms / line codes | from m6 to m11 | from m11 to m6 |
|---|
say "line eleven six" or "six eleven"
| lines | m3 to m8 | m8 to m3 |
|---|
say "eight three" or "three eight"
The division of the horizon into 12 directions can also be used global or indoor, example EXPO 2025: addressing of halls, points-of-decision, gates, emergency exits etc
: (first draft).1 unity = 10 meters
 |
Expo 2025 Osaka could become the worldwide first one exhibition to promote nAI, the NON artificial intelligence. Instead of defining aleatory addresses like A. B. C... and pointing "here" on a map or developing apps which decode such addresses into right-left commands, Expo 2025 introduces imaginable position codes. |
