	In applications that offer the possibility of searching locations (addresses, buildings, cities, countries, etc. …) it is common to show them on maps using pinpoints. This is very useful when the user has an idea of the surrounding geography since it gives an overall indication about how to reach the target location. Furthermore this is also very used to disambiguate searches that return several results.

	Such grids have no bound limitations, are a better interface to the reality, are zoomable without limitations, allow interpolation and allow an addressing outside of the map. The figure shows such a grid for the example ESAC. The grid contains quads which are similar to the conventional ones. Their bended sides let immediately detect the direction of the pole, even if the pole would be outside of the map.

	For example, soldiers, pilots and boy scouts use imaginary clocks at least to minimize right/left or east/west confusions. This quantification tool also allows to easily calculate turn angles: if the compass indicates or speaks that the actual drive direction is “7 o’clock” and the driver knows that the target is at 5 o’clock from the next crossing, so he can calculate that he has to turn 2 hours to “earlier”.

	Although traditional types of indications seem to meet the user needs, there are ongoing studies to understand the weak points of each methodology in order to offer new types of indications that could facilitate the process of finding a given location. Two examples of those studies are the Direction Codes and Location Codes.
