What is The Natural Area Coding System?
• Using coordinates to represent a three-dimensional region or a two-dimensional area instead of traditional geodetic point. When all side lengths of an area or a region become small, it is a geodetic point. When one side length of a rectangular area becomes small, it is a line section. Therefore in The Natural Area Coding System, a set of coordinates called a Natural Area Code (NAC) can represent a three-dimensional region, a two-dimensional area on the earth, a straight line section parallel to the constant longitude or latitude lines, or a geodetic point. • Employing 30 characters instead of 10 digits and making full use of the characters to create short coordinates. A NAC representing a geodetic point on the earth with the same resolution as a set of longitude and latitude coordinates requires only 50% of the number of characters of the longitude and latitude coordinates. Because of these two features, The Natural Area Coding System is superior over all other geodetic systems. It g
