[jdev] Jabber and Routing Information

[Stephen Pendleton]

Yes, UTM would be good to have. I don't know about the nacgeo, it looks a
bit too proprietary a scheme. Plus a GPS/location device doesn't have
support for that system, so a translation table or formula would be needed.

However, everything can be easily converted to decimal lat/long, so for
simplicity I would leave it at that for the first iteration.

hallo,

why don't you consider the use of UTM? and of "the
universal address system" http://www.nacgeo.com/

and imo the user should be able to indicate source and destinations in
different location systems.
