2020 #VWEDU: BIZ: Text-friendly addresses for Hypergrid. Landmarks work fine, but not in blogs or class assignments in text. SceneGate has a solution

Text-friendly addresses for Hypergrid.   
Landmarks work fine, but not in blogs 
or class assignments in text.. 
SceneGate has a solution.

To give Hypergrid destinations in text, we need text-friendly addresses.  SceneGate  can provide those.  They may only work in SceneGate, but in an instructional context all the students could be using SceneGate.

Hypergrid address

The problem

• For bloggers and teachers.
• Hypergrid region addresses work, but they don't carry location coordinates.
• A Firestorm Hop carries location coordinates, but you can't easily get a correct Hop except in your home grid. 
• Landmarks work well, but you can't give them in text.
• Is there a source for text-friendly Hypergrid addresses? 
• SceneGate has a solution. Try this:
• x-grid-info://grid.metaversedepot.com:8002/region/Selby's Place/130/131/21
