Thanks Will,

I think I get all that. ( but I'm not sure where 'level' should be... sealevel?) But what coordinate reference system, and what semantics should i use to making everything painlessly web accessible?

GeoRSS is 2D.

After asking myself why;-) here's a quick and dirty method. First measure the lengths of your walls with tape or disto. Lets say your room is 10 metres by 5 metres. Then divide this into theoretical grid squares of your choosing ie 1 metre squares. Pick a corner and call this 0.000, 0.000 (this is your bottom left of your living room "grid" if you drew it on paper). Diagonally across (ie top right corner) from this coordinate is 10.000, 5.000. You can then get any coordinate in the room from this grid. To get a z level (elevation) measure up from your floor and "set a level" one metre or whatever up, mark it with pencil etc. Will On Jan 31, 2008 10:24 PM, Mike Liebhold <[EMAIL PROTECTED] <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>> wrote:

    I'm thinking of mapping my living room. Does anyone have any
    sugggestions How should I convert the location of furniture,
    lamps,  into location coordinates?  I think I know how to do x
    and y, but z is a problem, though highly useful for finding
    things like books.

     Hi,

    Just a lazy question from a novice geowanker I suppose...but it might save
    me an evenings surfing though if you can help.

    I have googled a bit, with a few solutions... but does anyone have a perl
    script (or a site) to hand, to do Lat Long conversions to X Y? I have UK
    postcode/outcode/location database that I want to convert from L Lo to X Y.
    Again, "X Y" doesn't seem to mean anything specific, but a number of
    useful tools and code samples, including stuff relating to OSGB grid refs,
    can be found here:
