ABSTRACT:
A method of referencing fixed objects on the earth's surface by associating an unequivocal code. The method including the steps of: a) defining a grid with a predetermined resolution and a predetermined position with respect to the surface of the earth, the grid having intersection points that are convertible by a first reversible algorithm into a geographical coordinate system; b) unequivocally mapping the objects on the intersection points of the grid; c) unequivocally associating a code in each case with the intersection points of the grid by a second reversible algorithm; and d) associating the code of the associated intersection point determined in step c) with the object in question.
