Where the Streets Have No Name

Mapping in Japan

Abstract

From a European or North American perspective many things seem to be clear, but what you take as granted in a "Western" country is likely to be different somewhere else.

This talk gives an example, how a street-based address schema can become a real headache in countries which don't know street names.
