Hi Brian,
Sorry about the IE message, we will fix that. I could email the
powerpoint to you if you like.
Ziptude is one proposed application for the Geotude concept.
A firefox (and Safari) friendly site is at www.geotude.com
A alpha converter is at http://www.geotude.com/converter.html
A Google mashup is at http://www.geotude.com/mashup.html
A rough algorithm to convert Lat and Long to Geotude is {(lng+180) +
[500*ABS(lat-90)] +10000}. This is a sample using integer degrees.
The algorithm with decimals of degrees is a bit more technical. We
will summarize that for public consumption.
regards
richard

Thanks for the link azlan; I did as instructed (using my Firefox 2.0
browser) and confronted this:
"This presentation contains content that your browser may not be able to
show properly. This presentation was optimized for more recent versions of
Microsoft Internet Explorer.
If you would like to proceed anyway, click here."
it appears to be a link to a series of powerpoint slides.
ziptude looks like a system of rectangular grids sub-divided by decimal
orders of magnitude. DeCartes would love it.
I see 15 digits for a square meter. Is there a conversion application
available? how do you convert lat/lon to ziptude?
