[OpenGuides-London] Preferred mapping provider
by Earle Martin 30 Jul '03

30 Jul '03

Up until now we've been using streetmap.co.uk as our 'provider of mapping solutions' (to sound all corporate for a second). However, I no longer care for Streetmap after discovering the awesome power of uk.maps.yahoo.com: http://uk.maps.yahoo.com/py/lg:uk/lc:uk/maps.py?addr=114+campden+hill+road&… versus http://www.streetmap.co.uk/newmap.srf?x=525117&y=180161&z=0&sv=w8+7ar&st=2&… Note the greater detail, including door numbers and street directions, and generally much better clarity (try zooming in to maximum on Yahoo! and compare it to the above, which is already at maximum zoom). I suggest that we prefer Yahoo! Maps for linking to. -- # Earle Martin http://c2.com/cgi/wiki?EarleMartin $a="f695a9a2176a7dd1618af6649896ee10f05ea986de18af6277e9a1d8ef4696644569a1d".

[OpenGuides-London] Roads versus locales
by Earle Martin 11 Jul '03

11 Jul '03

As it stands, some Locale pages describe roads; I don't think this is granular enough (e.g., Strand redirects to Locale Strand, which describes the Strand). The situation I set up for Brick Lane and Category Brick Lane reflects how I feel we should abstract out the concept of 'locale' - "Brick Lane" is a road, and as such exists in Category Roads; its locale is "Locale Brick Lane". Locale Brick Lane itself is in Locale East London. I've been trying to implement a locale hierarchy, in order that people looking at locale pages can be given a vague idea of where the locale is located in London itself - meta-locales, so to speak. If people could start adding these descriptors (West London, East London, Southeast London, Central London, etc.) to all the locale pages, then that would be great. -- # Earle Martin http://c2.com/cgi/wiki?EarleMartin $a="f695a9a2176a7dd1618af6649896ee10f05ea986de18af6277e9a1d8ef4696644569a1d". "8ef46961ae1e64277e9896eea7d92ea8003e9a1d8ef4696f6950";$b="8ALB6AIA4.BA2";$c= join"",unpack"C*",$b;$c=~s/7/2/g;@b=split"",$c;foreach$d(@b){$e=hex(substr($a ,$f,$d));while(length($e)<8){substr($e,0,0)=0;}print pack"b8",$e;$f+=$d;}
