RE: Converting from telco Major-V, Major-H coordinates to Lat Long

Arrgh.. You're correct, and I should have noticed. It's the 1996 FAQ for Telecom Digest, Message-ID: <95.12.30.223ghbe6@massis.lcs.mit.edu> TELECOM Digest - Frequently Asked Questions - v.7 17 December 1995 from newsgroup comp.dcom.telecom.tech It's still in v.8 - http://www.teletechnics.co.nz/reference/telecom/telecom_faq.html
I've contemplated a project to make an independent VH database and I'm looking for input as to whether anyone would care. We currently maintain a searchable db of NPA/NXX info at http://www.cctec.com -> Search -> Search for info on NPA/NXX I wrote some code to take the Rate Center Name + State info and lookup the lat/long and then translate it into V&H coordinates. For one-off's and approximation of inter-CO distance, it will probably work. The premise is "close is better than nothing". I'll also add a public lat/long <-> V&H convertor to the mix. For unknown CO's, we'd look for input from the community. Thoughts from the group? Eric

Are you importing the nanpa data? that's where I am getting my data from. There is a link off of my page to the NANPA data which can be imported fairly easily. - Jared

I came across this one while writing dial-peers for a VoIP network that went outside the North American Numbering Plan: http://www.numberingplans.com They sell a complete database for �249 (or �49/month subscription) but also have a free tool to look up individual numbers. -Andy --- Jared Mauch <jared@puck.Nether.net> wrote:
