True, but how is giving "mom" three words to type into an app any easier than lat/long numbers? My point is more that someone bold enough to seek out a random location based on an app and just a couple words, is probably smart enough to use lat/long for more accurate location anyways. I'm thinking about something like geocaching here.

At this level, wouldn't we just be sending a street address that can be typed into Google maps anyways? I imagine if you are telling someone about a location that doesn't have a street address, that someone better be smart enough to handle lat/long points if they are going to actually visit the location.

I think they normally call that a train.

Quit feeding the troll...

Regulation turned into a big mess when people figured out how to 3d print them using only trees.

Instead of "I don't know" they can just throw massive error bars on the figure. For example, the earth may be 4.5 billion years old +- 20 billion years. (Thats right, it may not be created until the future...)
