[OSGeo-Discuss] Logical house numbers
Hi all, for those who are still thinking how to introduce the free tool r100 http://www.volksnav.de/r100 www.volksnav.de/r100, here an example: Nezahualcoyotl is a surburb of Mexico City. Acc. to www.neza.gov.mx, the City Hall of Neza has the following address: Av. Chimalhuacán S/N (no number) between Faisán and Caballo Bayo Col. Benito Juárez, Nezahualcóyotl. Estado de México. C.P. 57000 The av. Chimalhuacán has a length of 8.25 kilometers! While experts care about post codes (?) and location codes, nobody cares about better house numbers. r100 can be the start of the reform of post codes AND house numbers. A marginal crossing in Neza would have the following crossing code: - MexCity m3 r100 (100x100 meters from the urban pole to sunrise) The house number MexCity m3 r100 r23 has a precision of 2 meters and means: 23 meters from this crossing to outside, later side of the street (odd number like the number 1) The house number MexCity m3 r100 :18 means: 18 meters from this crossing to later (clockwise), earlier side of the street (even number). See www.volksnav.de/Neza So if OSM maps would include crossing codes or r100, there would be no more need to include house numbers. Who will leave GroupThinking and make the start?

I'm guessing that was Phil Davis (USA) there and not me, or a different Charlie, since sadly, I wasn't there! ;-) Reminder for those going to FOSS4G EU in Como in July - below is the full GeoForAll meeting times. Mark your calendars! 1) Tuesday July 14th, 8:30-11:30 am - GeoForAll pre-conference meeting. hall of Via Natta building. Topics: 1a. Certification: Phil Davis has agreed to give us an update on where we are on the certification discussion and lead further discussion on that topic. (Thanks Phil) 1b. Educational content curation strategies 1c. GeoForAll and its connection to firms. That's probably enough -- but if anyone has any other pressing issues while some of us are together let me know. 2) Thursday July 16th, 5:30 room 3.5 at Politecnico di Milano -- GeoForAll Europe meeting. (This is a good idea... any other regions have a group attending and want to meet up?) 3) Friday July 17th, 12:00-13:00 room 3.6 -- GeoForAll Bird's of a Feather Open session to plan our collective activities after reflecting on the conference experiences 4) Saturday July 18th - 8:30-11:30 hall of Via Natta building -- GeoForAll 'Grant Sprint' - Some focus on the US SmartCity grant proposal, hopefully at least another one focused on Europe. - If anyone is thinking about responding to a call to support our group and will be there, let me (Charlie) know.
