  1. Nice! The iOS app Maidenhead converter
    It has one simple job. It either takes latitude and longitude and returns The Maidenhead square number that that falls in out to eight digits of precision or you can reverse that. You give it a Maidenhead square number, and it will give you the latitude and longitude.
    It’s useful in ham radio, and just as an easier way of communicating location

  3. Unearthed this Royal County of #Berkshire Official Guide from 1991 on what is, coincidentally, the 25th anniversary of the County Council's demise. I can't see much online about the guide, so I'll scan and PDF it over the weekend and add it to the #InternetArchive so you can all share in the 1990s nostalgia!

    The numerous geocoding systems vary in #granularity (#precision) achieved with a certain amount of letters, & in their audience or #community.

    Above, I gave the example of #Maidenhead Locators (#QTH) commonly used by #HamRadio people.

    Different cultures use different #geocode|s for reasons.

    AFAIC, it would allianate communities to single out a particular system & mark it as ›general‹ by using a prefix like ›#GEO‹.

    Platforms should #welcome & represent a variety of cultures.

    I take it for granted that users must be able to decide upon the precision of the #geocoding they use for their postings.

    And that they must also be able to decide upon the geogaphic range of search when they lookup #georef|erenced postings.

    The location property of the #ActivityVocabulary does not only support exact locations but also areas in the sense that it allows for ›logical locations‹.

    A logical location could be ›near Berlin«, but also a #geocode with reduced precision.

    Relax, no one is seeking to re-invent any wheel.

    This thread is more about usability than it is about implementation.

    No one can make use of #semantic properties in a vocabulary as long as they do not show up in frontends.

    So, rather than deter consideration, let's keep the dialogue going.

    Have a look at my use of #geocoding hashtags:

    mastodon.social/@jpreisendoerf

    I think it'd be better to prefix the respective #geocode with an abbreviation indicating its type.

    #HamRadio people will often want to use #Maidenhead (#QTH) locators rather than #OpenLocationCode (#PlusCode).

    #QTHJO62
    #OLC9F4M

    Plus char can be dropped from OLC, because ›OLC‹ indicates #PlusCode.

    For reduced precision, drop trailing OLC letters.
