   Thanks for your comments frobozz, >0: How does the street algorithm work? I will publish the algorithm hopefully next week on the website as public domain > 1: Not everywhere can effectively be described as a point with varying degree

   Great idea superasn, right now if the misspell result in an invalid address it will let you know, but you can make a mistake that result in a valid address anyway.

   plesner, I will publish the algorithm next week on the website as public domain, your algorithm is very well explained and maybe even better than mine, basically your approach is using Z-Quads and my current algorithm encode the actual Gps

   Thanks Joshuaheard you can use zones for that, but at the time works for circular areas, try RERI-NUCA 800

   That's right tehwalrus, you don't need to replace current location systems if they work for you, but you can use it as an aditional line to gain accuracy and resiliency

   I made a non animated and "cut to the chase" slideshow you can acces on a "Slides are too slow?" link now on the website, hope that improves the experience!.

    Thanks Petrosh!, That's the idea, to start thinking about names and how can be improved, Location Aware Names is just a starting point not a final product.

    Hi not_that_noob Thanks for the comments!. I certainly agree with you, but you dont have to replace the names you are already using to take advantage of this, you can say: not_that_noob Washington Ave 123 Washington DC BIF

    Hi heshishei Thanks for your comments , Im Robert the developer behind the idea. I totally agree with you in that there is no way a single algorithm can produce pleasent result in every language, what sounds fairly good in Italian or Afrika

    Hi Drostie, It is an excellent analysis, when designing the algorithm there are 2 choices, to make the Global Addresses somehow related, so you can know that REJATE-POKAJA is near RIJATE-PIKAJAS, or to make them totally different so you wo

    Hi Wuliwong and thanks for your comments is a great feedback, Im Robert the developer behind the idea. Location Aware Names used as Global Addresses is one of the choices you can use. If you want to keep the current Street & Number form

    Thanks for all the feedback, I was not expecting so many responses! The main idea behind the concept of Location Aware Names is to re-think the way we give name to places, from a information point of view. Is there a better way to use names

    Thanks rusew! , at the time I was able to encode points and street names (lines) , hopefully more complex non-linear vector can be also encoded into short name forms.

    Thanks for your comments MrDosu, I definitely agree with you, but the Location Aware Names concept can be used to take language and cultural factors into account , to create a reference that is indistinguible from any other non Location Awa

    Thanks for the advice michaelq, I will change the slide to get to the rel life apps first and explain the concept later!. What do you mean by "major system"?, could you explain more?. The idea is to use what we already have now, &

    Great!, codes are shorter than on ubicate.me, the main difference is that Location Aware Names try to use the encoding as names , did you see Location Aware Street Names on slide 44?
