# Mapping & General Check-In #meeting **Date**:: 2021-08-13 **Attendees**:: Graven & Vishal --- * Vishal's demo - https://codepen.io/10dimensions/pen/gOWEjLo * Which projection are we using for the map? * Mercator - https://docs.mapbox.com/help/glossary/projection/ * Talked through grid size targets * Consider UX of claim + the practicality of displaying all the grid lines * Smaller grid necessitates tighter zoom or the grid overwhelms the view * There will be a hard limit on the number of coordinates a claim can include (path length) due to block size * Soft economic limitiations due to increased gas cost for every coordinate claimed * Likely land somewhere between 1 m^2 and 10 m^2 * Like in other areas, utilizing existing libraries and tools is best. In this case, we can try to utilize Mapbox's free from drawing library as much as possible * Start with rectangles (round to certain decimal lat/long) * Can draw multiple overlapping rectangles * Free form retangle "rounds up" to include any partial coordinates overlapped by shape * Eventually could add other shapes or free polygon drawing * Requires more work on the front end to translate a complex shape to a path on our fixed grid, so will just start with rectangles only
