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: http://worldwide-hwys.calrog.com/ca-46_2.html 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!
