What House Number Are We At?
“Are the odd numbers on the right or left?” “Are the numbers going up or down?” Sound familiar? If you’ve ever sat in the passenger seat of a car, chances are you’ve heard these exact questions. Well, along comes Research In Motion with a navigation related patent application (11/936,455) to destress the front passenger. The patent application can be utilized by your mobile phone to display the street number of the buildings to your left and right. Pretty nifty huh? Cheers to RIM for doing their part in combating unnecessary U-turns.
I thought all west and north facing homes had even numbers and all east and south facing homes had odd numbers. That has proven primarily to be true for 99% of the homes I’ve seen.
Is that right? I never realized that. How about when a street curves or is NW-SE, etc?
