I’ve been thinking about my GeoURL again (the link is on the SiteMap, too):
Check out my neighbors in meatspace
I added the stuff to my Wiki configuration:
$HtmlHeaders = '<meta name="ICBM" content="47.3787648948578, 8.52716503722805">' . '<meta name="DC.title" content="Home of Alex">';
Where did I get the numbers from? I visited http://www.travelgis.com/geocode/ and entered my address.
http://www.travelgis.com/geocode/
The seems to be absurd, however.
Let’s do some testing:
The next house number gets the following coordinates:
1. 3787648948578 latitude, 8.52716503722805 longitude. The same numbers!
Hm. The house 10 numbers higher:
1. 3791029892217 latitude, 8.52731103252156 longitude.
The distance: (sqrt (+ (sqr (- 47.3787648948578 47.3791029892217)) (sqr (- 8.52716503722805 8.52731103252156)))) ⇒ 0.00036826949999436975
Then consider that there are 10’000km per 90°:
(/ (* 0.00036826949999436975 10 1000 1000) 90)
=> 40.91883333270775
Well, 41m for 10 numbers (ie. five buildings) makes sense after all. Amazing.
