VolksNav(c) in Cameroon: starting with urban radius r100
The definition of the radius r100 allows to build location codes based on imaginary clocks,
which are smarter than post codes and other alternatives. They look like this example:
| StatusQuo(c) Yaounde m4:7 r22 |
This target could be a building, a crossing, a stop point, a bridge etc. The conventions for this format with hours, minutes and radius are as follows:
StatusQuo(c) |
prefix of a location code | Bases on an relevant point called m0 or r0, the urban pole. Example Yaounde: place de L'Reunificacion |
m12 |
basic horizon hour | This is the direction from urban pole to north. m3 will be to east, m6 to south etc. These direction lines divide the city like a cake into 12 m-sectors. |
number after the " : " |
horizon minutes | This is simply the distance to the horizon hour 1 unity = 100 meters. |
r... |
radius |
This is the distance to the pole. 1 unity = 100m. |
