Doug, As a point of introduction, I serve as Executive Director of a Minnesota based nonprofit which has great interest in the topic you offered for consideration. Your posting to the OSGeo discuss list was forwarded to me.
Before I respond, please expand your background information to include the following: Was any part of your proposed concept developed during hours worked at Google? You use the plural in describing who is offering this idea: Who exactly is part of your team? When you say "we're", are you referring to Google in general, or specific individuals? Have you discussed your concept with Google's Crisis Response Team? Exactly what advantages does your proposed system have over the Military Grid Reference System? Answers to those questions will be helpful in providing a meaningful response to your idea. Thank you very much. Best Regards, Steve Swazee www.sharedgeo.org
