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:
bridge StatusQuo© Cairo m8:3 r16
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.
Station codes for the Metro: see www.volksnav.com/cairometro
Natural Cartography©: a map with
such a polar grid has innovative characteritics, see www.volksnav.com/map
Please be aware about the fact that the
above mentioned targets are outside of the map
but with the help of the position codes it is possible to imagine where
they are !!
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 or pole pointer will be placed on their periphery
to allow to detect the direction m0 according to the following
conventions:
|
Orientator©
|
| if the pointer is
placed |
on top |
m0
will be |
in front of you |
| |
on bottom |
|
behind |
| |
right hand |
|
right hand |
etc. Acc. to the same convention, a
square symbol points to north = m12.
The picture above reveils: m12 is behind, the
pole 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 :
| 1
-
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:
Let's suppose, your target is:
Cairo university m7:13 r32
If you've lost orientation on named
bridge m8:3
r16,
so you must go
- outwards (radius r32 is more
than r16 )
and
- to "earlier" (counterclockwise) (
m7
is "earlier" than the actual m8 )
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. On a real situation, VolksNav© can
be learned within few minutes, that means, faster than the most seeking
times.
For advanced users: the minutes will never
exceed half the radius (!!) and the middle of the sector is always r/4.
Vision:
 |
Mobile applications: Very soon also navigation devices and mobile phones will indicate such
logical position codes and cardinal points |
Natural World
Co-ordinates: the same addressing methode will soon also be used
- indoor www.volksnav.com/smartvillages
and
- within the whole globe, see www.watchrose.com.
Acc. to this, the international City Code of Cairo is
WatchRose© m4:580 r26 15
What is this good for? Just comparing the codes for example
of Cairo and
Sphinx WatchRose© m4:595 r26 17
it is possible to evaluate that
- the position of Sphinx
is "later"
and farther to Munich than Cairo, more exactly
:595 - :580 =
15 km later
r2617 - r2615 = 2 km
farther
- the distance between both locations, the
hipotenuse, will be a little bit more than15 km.
- for advanced users:
the egocentrical direction Cairo
/Sphinx (to later/to outside) is QuoVides(R) 8, see www.quovides.com
Besides: the Sphinx is a case QuoVides(R)
3, the statue looks at the rising sun
