Universal Address - A Revolution in World Address Systems
The Universal Address System developed by NAC Geographic Products Inc.
introduces a highly efficient unified representation of an address, postal code, area code, geographic coordinates and map
grid coordinates in the world. It connects all location related products, services and technologies
(see Diagram). An eight character Universal Address can uniquely
specify every building in the world. A ten-character Universal Address can uniquely specify any square meter in the world.
They are easily remembered, can be pinpointed on all maps and navigated with GPS receivers. Using Universal Addresses instead
of street addresses to specify locations can 1) reduce 80% of input keys, 2) avoid difficulties in inputting addresses with
foreign characters, 3) eliminate errors from address databases, and 4) extend location based services to all locations no matter
whether there are addresses or not. They are especially significant on small wireless devices and car navigation systems such as
MLBS.NET and Locamagic.
You can look up your Universal Address here,
and try NAC Enhanced Google Local Search or Universal Address powered driving
directions services for desktop computers and
wireless devices. They provide cross-nation turn-by-turn driving directions for 26 countries for FREE.
For more information about the Universal Address System, please see
http://www.nacgeo.com/nacsite/.
The Universal Address is becoming a necessity for all location based services, navigation tools, maps, geographic information systems
and mapping software. If you are developing, manufacturing, providing or publishing location related products or services, please
call (416) 496 6110 or check http://www.nacgeo.com/nacsite/
to license NAC Technology.

Next Generation of Internet Search Engines
February 19, 2004 - Toronto, ON - NAC Geographic Products (NACGEO) and Metamend today announced that the two companies
have reached an agreement in an Internet search engine service. According to the agreement, Metamend is to optimize the meta
tags and add a new meta tag to every web page of its clients and submit them to the database of NACGEO's Mobile Location Based
Services Network (MLBS.NET). The new meta tag called NAC (Natural Area Code) tag (e.g. <meta name="NAC" content="8CNJ Q8ZG">)
adds a new layer of power - location as a search variable that will enable Internet search engines to make accurate location
based searches. A NAC tag will specify the exact location of a business anywhere in the world to a resolution of 30 meters
for an eight character NAC and one meter for a ten character NAC. An eight or ten character NAC is also called a Universal
Address because it can unique specify every building, house or other fixed object in the world. Universal Addresses can be
directly measured and navigated by GPS receivers, and pinpointed on all maps with Universal Map Grids. The short high resolution
Universal Addresses can be included on yellow pages, travel directories and business cards. The NAC tag not only makes location
based searches possible, but also turns a keyword matching search into an accurate location based search. This greatly
simplifies and speeds any location based search, compared with the algorithm that computes and compares distances.

| Products and Services Overview |
The Natural Area Coding System
The Natural Area Coding System provides unified universal codes called Natural Area Codes (NAC's)
for all areas and locations in the world. It assigns a unique ten character NAC for every address
in the world. These universal addresses will become the world standard addresses to replace all
language dependent addresses currently used in the world. The new addresses can be directly navigated
with GPS units and NAC grided maps, and used as the global postal codes to optimize mail delivery.

Free Mapping/Tracking Service for Web Sites
We have introduced a new free mapping service for all web sites on the Internet. All web sites can have interactive
maps with our base maps and map layers of their data. If you have a web site and want to be enhanced with interactive
maps, this is the choice for you. You can have as many map layers as you want and each map layers
can have texts, labels, symbols, images, hyperlinks, polylines, polygons, etc. If your data are dynamic such as
real time vehicle positions, you can also refresh the data in a frequency you can specify that can be as high as
once per second. There are no limites how many vehicles you are tracking simultaneously. You can complete an implementation
of the solution within five minutes. Compared with Map Quest's map, this service has many significant advantages:
- Mapping a veriety of many different map objects: symbols, labels, images, texts, polylines, polygons, circles, etc;
- Hyperlinks can be freely embeded on any mapped objects;
- Mapped objects can be arranged into any number of map layers that can be freely switched on/off by readers;
- Mapped data can be dynamic real time data and can be freshed automatically and periodically with frequecies as high as once per second;
- There are many different map servers, map themes and map layers for slection;
- Simultaneous display of lon/lat, UTM and NAC for the cursor location;
- Display of geomagnetic declination, inclination and intensity of the cursor location;
- The coverage is the entire world;
- The service is completely free.

Hotel Search/Mapping Technology
A new hotel search with our WEBGIS technology has been added to the pages of all cities, towns and villages
of Australia, Canada, New Zealand and the United States, and the capital cities of all countries and all

Try New York city to feel the
technology. Once you have opened the web page, you can click "Open Map" below the weather sticker. If
the city map is displayed, select "Hotels" on the top right list of the map applet to display all the
hotels on the map. You can click a hotel icon to open its booking page. You can also click "Hotel" on
the online researvation bar to list all hotels, on which you can click "Show" map to show the hotel on
the map. This is a good example for people to create many similar applications.
Fleet Real Time Tracking Technology
We have added a
Commercial Vehicle Tracking Service for tracking cars, trucks, boats, airplanes,
human beings, and other moving objects anywhere in the world. This service has
many advantages above the free tracking service. Since it is a new service, we
encourage you to try it free of charge before the end of March this year. If
you have found any problems or want to suggest something, please feel free to
contact us.
