TBF The maidenhead system (which is a worldwide standard) IS, IMO fairly easy to remember.
And because it's pairs are increasing in area, I can state that I live in IO93 and it narrows it to:
https://www.karhukoti.com/maidenhead-grid-square-locator/?grid=IO93 https://www.karhukoti.com/maidenhead-grid-square-locator/?gr...
or I could give the next 2 characters to narrow it to a 1km x 1km (roughly) area that covers my town, or the 2 letters and 2 numbers that give a small area that pinpoints 2-3 houses on my street.
It's not really any more complex or hard to remember than a standard postal code or zip code.
- mirimir 8y agoNow that sounds like a very useful system. It's hierarchical. With arbitrary precision. With ~short, easy to remember (and easy to key/speak on radio) codes. Nice.
