The Natural Area Coding System is a technology developed by NAC Geographic Products. It is immediately featured as breaking news on the Globe and Mail – the most influential newspaper in Canada and as international important news on Chinese Science and Technology Daily after it is published on the World 2002 GEOTec Event. The system has integrated the very fundamental concepts of geographic areas and locations, and introduced a highly efficient unified representation called Natural Area Code (NAC) for both a location and an area anywhere in the world. A NAC will automatically behave like a point or an area according to the relative size in its environment. For example, NAC: 8C Q8 is a four character NAC representing approximately the City of Toronto that will be a point on a world map and become an area on a Toronto street map. Since eight- and ten-character NACs can uniquely specify individual buildings, houses, camps, gates, doors, trees, fire hydrants, sewage exits, parking meters, etc anywhere in the world, they are also called Universal Addresses.
