Direction Reverser
A simple program which will reverse geographic directions written in a natural language | |
I think I've explained this enough already. Basically a program which will convert a text file saying "go this way, turn left at x, straight on.. bla bla bla" to a text file containing the reverse of these directions.

I'm a little worried that you can't do this in your head. Though we did recently have to cope with the directions a friend gave us to her house, where she inadvertently gave us each turn as though we going not coming. Perhaps you have the same problem? |
|
| |
You know you can accomplish the same thing by reversing the origin and destination in MapQuest, etc. |
|
| |
Unfortunately impossible. Try reversing "Turn right then take the first left." |
|
| |
This reverses to "Turn right then take the an unspecified left because I didn't count the turnings on that side of the road in the original instructions." |
|
| |
I spy problems with one-way systems. |
|

This could be useful to a number of people I know who are directionally challenged, and who are a source of endless frustration as I then have to give them a talkdown via mobile phone. They are deserving of pity rather than condemnation, and anything that will help them is a good idea. |

How did "strathmore" come into play for your nic? US, Canadian or Isle version? |

turn the page upside down |

That trick generally works better with drawn maps than written instructions, mind. |
