Mapcodes are simple, short and reliable

What are mapcodes? Mapcodes are a free, open way to make every house or location on Earth addressable by a short code. With nothing else except your mapcode, for instance, a navigation system will bring someone to within a few feet or meters of your front door. ​ Mapcodes are short, easy to use and easy to recognise. And they are free. Always.

I want a mapcode You can get your mapcodes easily on the map below. Or, if you want to run a business with mapcodes, you can use our free open-source software libraries to do so. ​ Try it out! Fill in your address, your zipcode or your latitude/longitude coordinates in the entry box in the map view below. The mapcode is shown below the map. ​ For more advanced ways of getting mapcodes, visit the Developers section of this website.
