Every location on Earth, including those in the sea like islands and oil rigs, can be represented by a
mapcode. Mapcodes are short, and easy to recognise, remember and communicate. They are
precise to a few metres, which is good enough for every-day use.
Go to
mapcode.com
for instructions on how to find the mapcode for a location.
Mapcodes are more precise and more flexible than the address on a business card. You can choose a
location that you want to associate with your address, for example, the main entrance or the
entrance to a car park.
