Considering the
distance to m0
as r = radius also in steps of blocks of houses, logical position codes
for targets, buildings, crossings etc. come into existence,
e. g. as shown on the picture:
crossing
m9:10 r58
In simple words:
"r" is a numbering
starting FROM m0,
"m" is a
north-direction-based numbering AROUND m0
and this simple methode covers a
gigantic market gap:
l o g i c a
l and easy understandable p o s i t i o n
codes.
Natural Cartography©: a map with
such a polar grid has innovative characteritics, see www.volksnav.com/map
Signage:
StatusQuo© addresses will be integrated
within the existing signage, see www.volksnav.com/lollipop,
or be indicated on so-called Orientators©, the
signage of the future:
Vertical Pointing©: additional to the
position information, a round symbol called center pointer will be placed on their periphery
to allow to detect the direction m0 according to the following
conventions:
| if the pointer is
placed |
on top
(f12) |
m0
will be |
in front of you
(f12) |
| |
on bottom (f6) |
|
behind (f6) |
| |
right hand (f3) |
|
right hand (f3) |
The picture right hand reveils: m12 is behind,
m0 is
right hand.

Navigation / VolksNav©:
The local navigation with the help of such
codes is called VolksNav©. As
proceeded today with house numbers, VolksNav© is nothing else than the
major/minor comparison between "r" and "m"
values:
Simply proceed according to 1 -2 -3 :

Positioning
|
Turn your body until m0 will
be BEHIND. In this position,
| ahead |
will be |
outwards |
| right hand |
" |
to later (clockwise) |
| left hand |
" |
to earlier |
etc.
Beginners have to turn
physically, after some exercises anyone will be able to do this by
his imagination power. In case you look at
above shown Orientator©, you'd have to turn to left, correct?

r-comparison
|
Ask yourself:
must I move inwards or outwards?
( = is the target radius
greater or smaller than the actual one?)
|
| 3
-
m-comparison
|
Ask yourself:
must I move to “later” (clockwise)
or to earlier?
( = is the target m later or earlier
than the actual one?)
|
Let's see an example:
If your target is:
National hospital m10 r66
and you've lost orientation on named crossing
m9:10 r58,
so you must go
- outwards ( r66 is more
than r58 )
and
- to "later" (clockwise) (
m10
is "later" than m9 )
This may seem to be unfamiliar, but the
orientation based on cardinal points is used for some thousand years and
imaginary clocks are used by soldiers, boy scouts, pilots, blind people
etc. for more than 100 years.

In a real situation,
VolksNav© can be learned within few minutes, that means, faster than the
most seeking times. Then you'll be able to navigate everywhere as
elegant as around the Christus statue in Rio de Janeiro, where the idea of
a quantified polar orientation and an orientation standard was born. |

Mobile applications:
Very soon also navigation devices and mobile phones will indicate such
logical position codes and cardinal points , see www.volksnav.com/mobile
You're invited to download the demo
program for pocketPC with/without GPS from www.volksnav.com.

Natural World
Co-ordinates: the same addressing methode will soon also be used
indoor and within the whole globe, see www.watchrose.com.
Acc. to this, the international City Code of Colombo is
WatchRose© m3:12 40 r78 30
Just comparing this code for example with
Kegalla WatchRose© m3:11 75 r78 40
it is possible to evaluate that
- the position of Kegalla is "earlier"
and farther to Munich than Colombo, more exactly
:1240 - :1175 = 45 km
earlier
r7840 - r7830 = 10 km
farther
- the distance between both cities, the
hipotenuse, is between 45 and 45+10 km.
- for advanced users:
the egocentrical direction Colombo
/ Kegalla (to earlier / to outside) is QuoVides(R) 2, see www.quovides.com
