location examples
Part of the location microformat efforts.
anecdotal
Originally added to location-formats, people have seen:
- links to mapping services, canonical URLs to 3rd party services like:
- Google Maps
- Map Quest
- Yahoo Maps
- human / named / legislated formats
- named places, e.g. Westin St. Francis
- addresses, including zip codes
- global/mathematical/geometrical
- Latitude / Longitude / Altitude
- MAKE has a GeoURL button
- Geo in RSS. Means a particular blog post is associated with a specific lat/long. Not specific about whether it means the location that the post was made from or the location was the post was about.
- Most systems do not contemplate or support the altitude component of a coordinate. As 3D terrain mapping grows in popularity (Google Earth), expect geocoding systems to provide the altitude.
- Latitude / Longitude / Altitude
Find URLs for each of the above, and move them from this anecdotal section to the below real world examples section.
real world examples
Links to public web pages, either popular or insightful.
latitude longitude
People actually do publish latitude and longitude in human visible text.
- LHC First Beam announcement page:
- "GPS: 46°13'59'' N; 6°3'20'' E"
existing practices
Summary of common patterns discovered.
