How do maps work in BuddySpace?
All maps in BuddySpace contain positions in pixels and are generated either by a separate application using a location database or by hand in BuddySpace. In the live maps, which are extension of the ‘normal’ ones, the projection is added that allows definition of position dependent on some parameters. The pixel location then serves as a default position when other parameters are not available. More info is on JEP-0110 Generic Maps and http://kmi.open.ac.
