Graticule Discussion

  • Why not just run the algorithm for the four useful boxes and choose the point closest to the city center? It seems like it would have roughly the same effect, but wouldn't require special-casing the algorithm. 67.176.137.171 00:56, 22 May 2008 (UTC)


  • I would rather use the shifted graticule. Has their been a ruling? Shifting may cause confusion, but it's better than visiting Gary,IN. --207.181.238.3 05:05, 14 July 2008 (UTC)


2008-05-31 Meet

I've got a small group (car full) of people who are planning to do the meet this week. Which graticule should we be using? Has there been a ruling on the shifted graticule/multi-graticule thing?

I have a couple folks who would also like to do the 2008-05-31 meetup, but not if it's 1h45 drive each way! The shifted graticule or the multi-graticule would be great, but what is the process for getting those approved?

I'm going to be in Chicago this upcoming weekend. I'd like to make it to a meetup if possible. Are you guys using the Gylbert Algorithm? - Histumness 13:38, 17 June 2008 (UTC)
