Yes, UTM would be good to have. I don't know about the nacgeo, it looks a bit too proprietary a scheme. Plus a GPS/location device doesn't have support for that system, so a translation table or formula would be needed.
However, everything can be easily converted to decimal lat/long, so for simplicity I would leave it at that for the first iteration. -----Original Message----- From: gregoire athanase [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, April 12, 2004 6:15 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]; Jabber software development list Subject: Re: [jdev] Jabber and Routing Information hallo, why don't you consider the use of UTM? and of "the universal address system" http://www.nacgeo.com/ and imo the user should be able to indicate source and destinations in different location systems. --- Stephen Pendleton <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hello, > > I am introducing a new service that client > developers may be interested > in.
