Click or doubleClick a point on map to know the logical area code of that point
Area codes like "Studely, YDE m11 r3 and Hotel de Ville m11:3 r15" consist of hours, minutes and radius according to following convention:
| element | meaning | details |
|---|---|---|
| StatusQuo Yaounde | prefix of an urban position code | The urban pole is the Place Ahmadou Ahidjo |
| 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 for Google Earth, download Yaounde_r100.KML |
This map converts lat/lon to StatusQuo on a simplified mode, tolerable for radius < 10 km. For a professional conversion, see VolksNav.com/mapplet
