Posted: Fri Jul 04, 2014 9:53 am
I always wondered who screwed up the who GPS coordinate thing. You have degrees, decimals, decimal degrees, etc.
Now there is at longs last an easy way to enter an address and navigate to it.
What they did is they divided the whole globe into 5 meter square blocks. Each block has a code.
Guess it must be like a GPS coordinate that has been encrypted.
You will find the best deals on 4x4 Accessories at: 7K336.3JZ6
Apparently Tom Tom already use it on their GPSes and the rest of the world will follow soon.
They also patented the whole thing, not to make money but to make sure somebody do not screw it up again like with the GPS coordinates. So there will hopefully always be only one standard version of your map code.
