VolksNav in New York
Click or doubleClick a point on map to know the logical area code of that point
Area codes consist of hours, minutes and radius according to following convention:
| StatusQuo(c) NY | prefix of an area code | The urban pole is the Empire State building |
| 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 grid show :50 minutes |
| r... | radius |
distance to the urban pole, in steps of 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:
. 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"
