[OSGeo-Standards] A simple circle upgrades the State of the Map

[Munich Orientation Convention]

Dear standards board,

 

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 grid, signage without
cardinal points etc.

The circle and the Time Space Convention have all characteristics for to be
a free standard and my proposal is, to think about adopting it.

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.
