This program has a search engine where you put the name of the region from which we want to know your GPS coordinates
We put the exact name of the region to search (whether it's capitalized, separate, number, or hyphens, and wait for it to find the region. Maybe the first time it won't come out, so we'll reconfirm the exact name on Kelly Shergood's map until the information on the page comes out.
When the page appears, we will see that it says "region coordinate", and below the name of the region and in parentheses there are two numbers separated by a comma. Let's use the Alphubel region as an example.
The coordinates you give us are (1125,1045). We will use the classic Second Life system relative to the coordinates and see that the oldest region of Second Life and origin of the all others is Da Boom (coordinates 1000,1000); using the classical coordinates, the "X" coordinate would correspond to the LONGITUDE (west/east) and the "Y" coordinate to the LATITUDE (south/north); if a coordinate is negative or positive it means the following: "-X" is equal to WEST and "X" is equal to EAST; At once, "-Y" is equal to SOUTH and "Y" to the NORTH.
My system simplifies things, leaving Da Boom as the ZERO point of the entire GRID and from which all coordinates start, being used the classic system of taking the LATITUDE (north/south) first and then the LONGITUDE (east/west), in the case that the coordinates in the Grid Survey are upside down (first LONGITUDE and then LATITUDE).
Then, my system starts by subtracting 1000 from the coordinates (Da Boom, with LONGITUDE 1000 / LATITUDE 1000 coordinates, would stay at 0/0); to these coordinates we reverse the positions, remaining to LATITUDE 0, LONGITUDE 0; finally, being both positive, it would stay at 0 NORTH and 0 EAST.
And we already have our GPS coordinates ready to be used with the Grid Survey: going back to the example of Alphubel (1125,1045), we would start by subtracting 1000 from each figure (125.45) and reversing its position (45,125), resulting in both positives giving us the GPS position 45 NORTH and 125 EAST, that is, they would be with respect to Da Boom, 45 regions to the north and 125 regions to the east; if we pass it to meters, we only multiply the measurement of a region (256 meters) by the regions that there are, resulting in Alphubel being 11520 meters to the north and 32000 meters to east of Da Boom; if we want to see the linear distance from Da Boom to Alphubel we will use the Pythagorean theorem, wherever we are knowing two points of a rectangle triangle (X=11520,Y=32000), we're going to square X and Y by multiplying X*X (132710400) and Y*Y (1024000000), adding them up later (1156710400); to this amount we have given its square root (34010.4), deducing that by passing it to kilometers gives us 34 km of linear distance, and put in nautical miles, it would be about 18.35 NM
Let's see what would happen with a region to the south and west, using the Fame region, like Da Boom, on the continent of Sansara; its coordinates are in the Grid Survey of (997,998); if we subtract from 1000 would remain like this (-3,-2); turning them around would be (-2,-3) and using the GPS coordinates would be as LATITUDE 2 SOUTH and LONGITUDE 3 WEST, or in GPS 2S,3W dialing; if we want to be more precise, we just need to add to the grid coordinate, the coordinate of the region (which is a number between 0 and 256, which measures a region). In that case, if we were in the center of the region, we could say that we are at 2.128 S (TWO POINT ONE TWO EIGHT SOUTH) and 3.128 W (THREE POINTS ONE TWO EIGHT WEST).
