Navigation Help using Connexto (Poor Man's Personal GPS)

By overlaying an imaginary grid over the North end, we are able to bring more of a sense of order to the mess of gnarled one-way streets that make up the 400 year old neighborhood. Placing signs on streets that correlate to the grid give people and electronic devices (cell phones with Connexto) points of reference against one another.



-Each square on the grid will be given coordinates (alphabetical on one axis, and numerical on the other), and a sign featuring a map with coordinates and a Connexto code that will refer to each sign's location will be placed at major points on the grid.



-Each Connexto code will bring a Connexto user to a page that sets their location as a beginning point.
-The user will then enter grid coordinates where they want to arrive.
-A Java applet or a matrix of HTML pages will then display directions from one location to another.
