IMTU UPP code appears slightly broken...

[Redcap]

OK, I've redone my IMTU codes, and it was while I working out my UPP section, that I noticed something odd...

Here's the link for the page where the blurb is... http://eaglestone.pocketempires.com/imtu.html

Scroll down the bottom.

IMTU "Subsector Position"

Coordinates are measured as absolute "latitude" and absolute "longitude" from Normal, Illinois. The following rule of thumb can help with your calculations:

First Digits:

04 if you're in IL
03 if you're in the midwest.
05 if you're in North America.
(06 if your state has an ocean coast)
07 if you're not in North America.
02 if you're across an ocean.
(01 if your province is landlocked)
08 if you're in a former state of the USSR.
(09 if your province is landlocked)


Second Digits:
01 if you're North-East of Normal, IL
02 if you're North-West of Normal, IL
04 if you're North of Normal, IL
05 if you're in Normal, IL
06 if you're South of Normal, IL
08 if you're South-East of Normal, IL
09 if you're South-West of Normal, IL

While it hasn't really affected my UPP, it might affect others: Where the heck are "West" and "East" for the second pair of digits?!

I propose an amendment, as follows:

01 if you're North of Normal, IL
02 if you're North-East of Normal, IL
03 if you're East of Normal, IL
04 if you're South East of Normal, IL
05 if you're South of Normal, IL
06 if you're South West of Normal, IL
07 if you're West of Normal, IL
08 if you're North West of Normal, IL
09 if you're IN Normal, IL

Does anyone think this makes sense?

03 if you're East of Normal, IL
07 if you're West of Normal, IL

Reasonable. I suppose I didn't include E and W because there are relatively few locations which might be said to be purely East or West of Normal, IL. But, reasonable.

Granted, but even though there are few that could be affected, doesn't mean we shouldn't try, I think
