Here we go again: This method has been presented in this and similar for a before, but I think the general opinion was that it is NOT OPEN, as it has a license system:

    Dear Suchit, dear all,
     
    I’d like to declare the StreetSmart orientation methods and instructions acc. to
    www.volksnav.de/StreetSmart <http://www.volksnav.de/StreetSmart> as Open Principles for Science and Education in actually 500 cities.
    
     
    Let’s compare: as “modern” answers to the simple question “where?”, some post administrations are introducing proprietary location codes based on 3 names (!?).
    
    The other alternatives to lat/lon aren’t much better:
    
     
    OpenLocationCode     www.openlocationcode.com,
    
    NAC                                  www.nacgeo.com,
    
    naymit                             www.naymit.com,
    
    mapcode                        www.mapcode.com,
    
    xaddress                         www.xaddress.org,
    
    eLoc                                  www.mapMyIndia.com,
    
    edress                              www.eddress.co,
    
    others                              www.isotc211.org/Address/standards.htm
    
     
    I’d be more than glad if Geo4All would support better orientation tools in favor of children, the blind, those who can’t read maps but can read a clock etc. and ask for your open minded comments
     on that. Thank you in advance.
