VolksNav in Chicago

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

Area codes like "Chicago m9:1 r11" consist of hours, minutes and radius according to following convention:

element meaning details
StatusQuo Chicago prefix of an urban position code

The urban pole is the crossing State/Madison
(another point?)
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

This map converts lat/lon to StatusQuo on a simplified mode, tolerable for radius < 10 km. For a professional conversion, see VolksNav.de/mapplet

--------

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

Example Obama Presidential Centre, Chicago m5:22 r112 : smart making addresses for buildings, POI points-of-interest, POD points-of-decision, exhibits, trees etc. Example: Home Court, OPC m6 r37

eb1 unity = 10 meters

Convince yourself by clicking on interactive map: it appears either the Chicago or the OPC location code! The smart addressing within buildings, playgrounds etc. can follow the same method.
