clarify correlation between zoom, precision, + human-readable placename in docs
We should clarify the exact correlation between zoom and precision and human-readable placename.
See how in the README, we walk through the relationship between precision and decimal places and zoom level; we could do the same (with a table of what precisions relate to what human readable location "scales" like city, state, country) for this.
We should probably start by making a table which lays out the available human readable place names, so we can propose appropriate precision values for each.
So something like:
| Zoom level | Lat/lon coordinate precision | Human-readable placename |
|---|---|---|
| 0 | x0.0 |
planet |
| 5 | x0.0 |
state, province, country |
| 6 | x.0 |
state, province, region |
| 10 | 0.x |
city, postal code |
| 13 | 0.0x |
neighborhood |
| 16 | 0.00x |
block |
Zoom level | Lat/lon coordinate precision | Human-readable placename
--|----|---
0 | `x0.0` | planet
5 | `x0.0` | state, province, country
6 | `x.0` | state, province, region
10 | `0.x` | city, postal code
13 | `0.0x` | neighborhood
16 | `0.00x` | block
Both the wiki and the README file could feature this :-)
wiki maybe at https://publiclab.org/wiki/location-privacy

Yes, this makes sense, and you're talking about for the wiki, right?

That would be GREAT -- and also adding a link from the location input pop-up to this page so that people can easily find it!
