About mapcodes

In countries where roads and houses have no names or addresses, you can use a mapcode instead. A mapcode represents a location.

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.
