Some more information about the Munich Orientation Convention ========================= The more we just follow arrows in electronics and signage, the more we loose our sixth sense and all in dependance of external means. The more we follow the M-direction we evaluated ourselves, more rapidly we'll return to the natural situation which has been before the signage has been invented. "Orientation" comes from "orient" and this is a kind of a pole. Do you agree? The greatest benefit of this Convention will be the reduction of accidents on roads, mainly in Europe, where - other than in USA - the signage is terrible: sometimes we have to read 25 names within 3 seconds for to detect that our target is not included. But sometimes it has been the right exit point, that means, we'll never read the right name anymore. In France they solve this problem indicating "all directions". Is that better? Twin towers: based on the tragic of the unlogical adresses of the WTC towers, I'm negotiating the renaming of the Petronas towers in Kuala Lumpur. Just watch the news, this innovation will be published worldwide in some weeks/months. Big money Suppose I'd abandone the idea of getting any remuneration for the intectual property, my work and the invested money, would you then give my idea a chance? Would the system look less trange? The manufacturers say "what costs little is worth less" Eurocentric? I also live in Rio de Janeiro and see no problems if the center of WatchRose© would be another point than München. Any suggestions? Tokio Orientation Convention? Follow T ? Invention or not? There are more than 100 patents concerning a simple computer keyboard. Are all these patent owners inventors or not? The only persons who are authorized to issue patents say yes. Poor home page Please excuse if in my opinion it wouldn't be very intelligent if an inventor invests time creating beautifull self explaining home pages. Wouldn't it be an invitation to invade my property? For instance to sell the idea to Petronas?

First of all, please excuse my bad english and the fact that I have no experience with forum rituals. The Munich Orientation Convention isn't just another standard but the worldwide harmonization between all standards concerning the orientation means signage, cartography, electronics etc and will also minimize left/right confusions ( e. g. the amputation of the wrong leg ) and collisions on air. Your reactions demonstrate that the existing structures - including authorities - are inadequate for this target: only a courageous and patient inventor will be able to reach this. My target group is/are people who wants to get smarter or at least have alternatives in case another methode would fail. As shown in www.follow-m.com/asp.htm I practise and teach - and this since 20 years - geocaching without the need of an external intelligence. It's impossible for me to convince you by internet that a navigation based on a pole is much more natural than a based on two lines which are far away. This makes the difference between an egocentric and an exocentric navigation. A good example is Rio de Janeiro, where I've defined the Jesus statue as the clock center. Soldiers, boy scouts, pilots etc use imaginary clocks since 100 years: just for fun or because other means are unnatural? Please believe that children take 20 seconds to learn the time-space convention and 1.5 minutes to find an eastern egg among a chaos. Adults take a little longer, but: is there an urgency? At the other side, urgent cases are inadequate for learning purposes. Until now, american manufacturers argued that nobody asks for this feature. Of course, if nobody knows that this feature exists... In some weeks I'll be in Japan and will offer my system to the government for the reformation of the actual most complicated house numbering. With this, problably Casio will be the first one to offer GPSrs including natural means. In all situations, the receiver will also indicate where the center m0 and the north directon m12 is. It took me more than 10 years to find an idea how to manage that. The rise in price would be less than one dollar, 2 cents for me. Please be aware that if nobody contacts american manufacturers than you probably will have to buy Casio or wait 2 or 3 years for an upgrade of your receiver. All manufacurers ask for exclusivity. A StatusQuo© is NOT a metric system, M and R are perpendicular house numbers and - exactly as you do today with house numbers - you navigate just comparing target and actual position figures without the need of a machine.

Acc. to www.watchrose.de, I've invented natural world coordinates which are easier to undestand, can also be placed on indoor/outdoor signage, city maps and electronics and will make geocaching smarter. I'd apreciate if you all could write to GPS-manufacturers asking for switchable features acc. to the Munich Orientation Convention. Thank you in advance
