This seems sensible. I agree with this proposal and I think Rally also has the same thoughts regarding trunk highways. On Wed, Feb 9, 2011 at 10:15 AM, Ed Garcia wrote: > It seems like most, if not all, would agree to the following guidelines: > > -- trunk roads would be the town-to-town roads t

Hi, Actually the part of the border covering the Spratly Islands has been there for years, that's why I cant understand why no-one has finished the border before now. Though it did take me hours to find that one map showing the border, maybe everyone else just gave up looking. Cheers, Ian On We

Hi, Woah! 31 pages, I'm not that interested :-) Anyway feel free to edit the border, and remove the Spratley's if you wish. I had thought Wikipedia would have nice maps of all the countries borders, and lists of the co-ordinates, yet here we are in the 21st Century and people are still fighting

[talk-ph] GPS co-ordinates on Vcard

2011-02-09 Thread Jim Morgan
Just a random thought ... It struck me that a very useful application for restaurants, bars etc, would be to put their Lat/Long co-ordinates on a webpage, in a format that would allow them to be imported into people's GPS units. In the same way as Vcard allows you to do with addresses. Any i
