[HECnet] HECnet mapping project

[Rob Jarratt]

Ah yes, now I recall seeing that bit from time to time.

Do the fields have to be a fixed width as appears to be the case in the link
you sent?

Regards

Rob

That's already done, look at http://rhesus.sampsa.com/cgi-
bin/hecnetinfo/hecnetinfo.com?q=CHIMPY

We could just add another field for LAT/LONG after location.

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

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. ;)
