[HECnet] HECnet mapping project

I have gone ahead and added lat/long to VAX780::INFO.TXT. Perhaps we should define some common tags and formats to make the INFO.TXT machine readable? I am using this at the moment: Owner: Rob Jarratt Location: Stockport, England Latitude: +53.3809 Longitude: -2.2172 Regards Rob -----Original Message----- From: owner-hecnet at Update.UU.SE [mailto:owner-hecnet at Update.UU.SE] On Behalf Of Cory Smelosky Sent: 25 December 2012 18:25 To: hecnet at Update.UU.SE Subject: Re: [HECnet] HECnet mapping project On 25 Dec 2012, at 07:36, sampsa at mac.com wrote: On 25 Dec 2012, at 14:34, Johnny Billquist <bqt at softjar.se> wrote: Another kind of graph that would be cool (but even harder) would be to have a map of the world, with the nodes placed out, and connections. That kind of map would work to have everything illustrated as point-to-point connections. But figuring out the physical locations is another story. (I guess the only way would be if people could put that kind of information in some file, in a format that would be machine parseable.) If people put their geographical location in GPS cords on their INFO.TXT files, I don't see why this would be impossible. I have my general area in my INFO.TXT. Nothing /exact/ though. ;) sampsa
