A linear-referencing mile-marker or chainage — a distance-along-a-line coordinate on a linear feature such as a road, railway, or pipeline (e.g. '42.3'). The unit and direction are solver-layer attributes (Principle 12), or may be declared via gmeow:hasUnit.

Usage Advice

Use when

• Use for a linear-referencing mile-marker / chainage on a Geocode — distance along a road, railway, or pipeline.

• Avoid using it off a linear feature and avoid omitting unit/direction context (solver-layer or gmeow:hasUnit).

How to use

• Set gmeow:mileMarker on a Geocode whose gmeow:geocodeFrame is gmeow:referenceFrameMileMarker.

Examples

• ex:mmLoc gmeow:mileMarker "42.3".
