VolksNav in Osaka
Click or doubleClick a point on map to know the EXPO or the urban area code of that point
Urban area codes StatusQuo look like "Umeda station Osaka m10:3 r31" according to the following convention:
| StatusQuo Osaka | prefix of a position code | The urban pole is the Osaka castle |
| 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(c) on a simplified mode, tolerable for radius < 10 km. For a professional conversion, see VolksNav.com/mapplet
The map also shows the stations of the Midosuji and Chuo lines. Compare hour and radius on example Midosuji:
| name | "hour" | radius |
|---|---|---|
| Nakamozu | m6:20 | r147 |
| Shinkanaoka | m6:10 | r133 |
| Kitahanada | m6:10 | r117 |
| Abiko | m6:12 | r99 |
| Nagai | m6:12 | r86 |
| Nishitanabe | m6:10 | r74 |
| Showacho | m6:8 | r61 |
| Tennoji | m6:10 | r46 |
| Dobutsuen-mae | m6:20 | r47 |

| lines | m3 to m8 | m8 to m3 |
|---|
say "eight three" or "three eight"
The division of the horizon into 12 directions can also be used global or indoor, example EXPO 2025: addressing of halls, points-of-decision, gates, emergency exits etc
: (first draft).1 unity = 10 meters

Expo 2025 Osaka could become the worldwide first one exhibition to promote nAI, the NON artificial intelligence. Instead of defining aleatory addresses like A. B. C... and pointing "here" on a map or developing apps which decode such addresses into right-left commands, Expo 2025 introduces imaginable position codes. |
