Default Why geographic coordinates tie into viatology so well

Hi Viatologists,

The biggest players in the game use geographic coordinates for online maps,
photographs and videos. The strides that the Worldwide Highway Library
(WHL), Google, and Microsoft have brought an inventive platform where you
can zoom directly onto your point-of-interest w/in a few metres of accuracy.

Scientifically speaking, why are geographic coordinates so useful? Answer
is, it can help you understand the environment surrounding the freeway. For
example, the lower the latititude, the higher the sun reaches the sky in mid
summer months. This can be useful in your travels if you plan to hike, swim
or have equal shifts of daylight and sunlight. For example, the 34th
parallel rests in Los Angeles and makes beachtime fun a possibility. That
said, highways like Interstate 5, US Federal Route 101 or California State
Route 1 would become the recommended conduits. Those interested in weather
can also see coordinates and predict low an high pressure belts, ultimately
affecting the plans for vacation if outdoor activities are a must. That
said, this knowledge can help you adjust driving patterns if you expect Tule
fogs, wind storms or precipitation.

As you can see, geographic coordinates tie into viatology very well. It
gets you to where you want w/ exact precision. The WHL has taken great
strides over the past few weeks to familiarise you w/ the relative location
of highway hotspots, in respect to the equator and the Greenwich line. Take
for example California State Route 46:

Here, you catch a glimpse of the Central Valley and nearby coastal ranges.
1950s movie buffs may remember this location since Jimmy Dean crashed and
subsequently died here in a bad automobile accident. As you can see, the
inclusion of geographic coordinates are useful in more than one application.

It's technologies like this that put the WHL at the forefront of viatology.
The days of posting photographs only and personal feelings of the author are
becoming passé. While Microsoft and Google have excellent maps, their
captures of the road by way of video or photograph cannot compete w/ the
greatest viatology website on the planet: the WHL!

Cheers,
