[Geo4All] A simple circle upgrades the State of the Map

[Munich Orientation Convention]

Dear GeoForAll,

 

please be informed about a relevant presentation within the virtual
conference FOSS4G Korea 2020, session 4:
https://foss4g.osgeo.kr/track-english-01

This event will possibly be considered as the start of the abolition of
enigmatic location codes, maps without reference grids, signage without
cardinal points etc.

A simple circle upgrades the State of the Map 


Henrique Koehler / Munich Orientation Convention


Nonacademic reference grids A, B, C, 1, 2, 3... are hardly zoomable, so they
got unused. Consequently, the State of the Map is a Naked Emperor: no grid
at all (!) and the answer to the question "where?" is "here!"
www.volksnav.de/YouAreHere . This unworthy situation caused the
proliferation of enigmatic location codes, some based on names (!?)
www.volksnav.de/alternatives. 

 

A simple standard circle www.volksnav.de/r100Seoul and the rebirth of the
Time/Space Convention *) will upgrade the State of the Map, create
imaginable location codes, help to avoid confusions
www.volksnav.de/confusions etc. etc.. 

FOSS4G Korea 2020 can have a relevant role on this quantum jump.
