Click or doubleClick a point on map to know the urban area code or the DWTC indoor code of that point
Urban area codes StatusQuo look like "World Trade Center Dubai m12:15 r33" according to the following convention:
| StatusQuo Dubai | prefix of a position code | The urban pole is the Burj Khalifa  |
| m12 | basic horizon hour | from urban pole to north, m3 to east etc. |
| number after the " : " | horizon minutes | distance to the horizon hour, in steps of 100 meters The blue lines on map show :50 minutes |
| r... | radius |
distance to the urban pole, in steps of 100m The red circle shows r100 = 10km. |
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 map also shows metro stations:
 line m1 to m7 |
 line m7 to m1 |
 line m6 to m1 |
 line m1 to m6 |
 line m1+ |
 line m1- |
Just comparing the "hour" of the following imaginable station codes it is to see that this line goes counter clockwise (line 1- ). Comparing the radius, it confirms that the line goes inwards around the sector m1:
| name | "hour" | radius |
