Inserting a pin through a folded copy of the AZ Street Plan of Oxford results in a series of 12 small holes spread across the unfolded map. 2 of these puncture the surrounding text, but 10 fall through specific points on the map, in and around Oxford:
I *was* going to mention the wonderful app version for iPad and iPhone of Tom Phillips's "A Humument", which features a well-implemented random "Oracle Feature". However, it seems it is no longer available in the App Store, apparently because it was very much an in-house development, and the TP studio lacked the expertise to keep up with Apple's infuriating tendency to introduce OS upgrades that are not backwardly compatible with older software.
I hope the fate revealed by your chartomancy was benign, or at least suitably ambiguous. My feeling is that you probably ought to convert your pinpricks into six-figure OS grid references, and pass them through an alphanumeric decoding system, ideally similarly derived by random selection. Give chance a chance!
