VolksNav in Cape Town

Click or doubleClick a point on map to know the logical area code of that point

Area codes like "Canal Walk, Capetown m1:25 r97" consist of hours, minutes and radius according to following convention:

element	meaning	details
StatusQuo Cape Town	prefix of an urban position code	The urban pole is the Devils peak
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, 1 unity = 100 meters
r..., e. g. r66	radius, red lines	distance to urban pole, 1 unity = 100m download CapeTown_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

The division of the horizon into 12 directions can also be used global or indoor.

The Munich Orientation Convention bases on imaginary clocks, a method used by soldiers, boy scouts, blind people, pilots etc. for more than 100 years.

This convention quantifies positions in harmony with imagination power, cartography, modern post codes, search engines, navigation devices and codes for crossings, stations, bus stops, bridges etc.

The search grid is a quasipolar one, is scalable and has other innovative characteristics, see Magic Grid. The index on map is at the same time an intelligent postal code on reality!

See on sector m7 is a typical quad 5 x 5km, blue filled. The bended sides let you know the direction or the urban pole even if the pole is outside of the map.

Promotion of the nAI (non-Artificial Intelligence):

Vertical Pointing / VolksNav:

Special pictograms on signage and navigation devices let detect the directions north and indoor/urban/global pole. The user will be able to guide himself as elegantly as in Rio de Janeiro around the Christ statue: inwards/outwards and clockwise/counter clockwise.

Exercise: just using your brain, try to imagine the following route: m1 r40 to m5 r90
