Business cards

[Tom59]

Twenty years ago, a business card consisted of an address, phone, fax and telex numbers.

Around about 1995 or so, the world wide web started getting more popular. This meant that business cards had to change. The telex number disappeared and was replaced by an e.mail address and sometimes a web site.

Well everyone, we are now ready for a change again.

In the last couple of years, satellite navigation has become extremely popular, to the point of commonplace.
Those of us that have business cards and headed paper now need to add another parameter:

Loc: 51.50812, -0.07574

This is one very useful step that you can all carry out. Businesses who advertise anywhere should publish this information as well.

do you really work there?

as geeky as it sounds it WOULD be helpful to people like us. however, how many 'normal' people would know that it was lat/lon that should be input into their satnav?

perhaps:

GPS: 51.50812, -0.07574


would be more effective? however, i'd recommend putting the coordinates at the entry road rather than slap bang in the middle of the building.

I can see people trying to use this as a phone number, swap the lat/ long around and it will look like an STD code with number - Mike

Hmm...

How about GPS N 51.50812°, W 0.07574°

Like to see them dialling that!
