Facts & Figures to consider

30°N 90° W is a fact.

• The definition of all longitudes and latitudes for this earth has been defined and refined
  
  since 1884 (International Meridian Conference).  It is very stable information.

• Since the 1960s science and  technology – the Global Navigation Satellite System – can
  
  measure any global position within an inch.  Any change to the basic concepts is unlikely.

• There has been very little done to value GPS locations for their simplicity and meaning.

• GPS technology will increasingly be integrated into everything and be used by everybody.
  
  Today it is mostly used by cars, trucks and airplanes (for which it was developed).

• Operational for the public since 1993, ideas for practical GPS applications are still young.

• Currently no major city in the world  promotes their GPS location.

• 30/90:  The New Orleans GPS location is simple and very easy to remember.
  
  It marks a divisional longitudinal quarter with the Prime Meridian and International Date Line
  
  (six hours east and west) and the one-third latitudinal axis with the equator and North Pole.
