Questions
How do I get the coordinates of a place?
In Google Maps, press and hold the spot (or right-click it on a computer) and the coordinates appear at the top. In Apple Maps, drop a pin and swipe up to see them. You can also paste the Share link from either app.
Which should I choose, Google Maps, Apple Maps, or geo?
A Google Maps link is the safest choice. It opens the Google Maps app or the browser on any phone. An Apple Maps link opens Apple Maps on iPhone and the browser elsewhere. A geo code is the smallest and opens map apps on Android, but iPhones may not open it.
Why can't I pick the place on a map here?
Map pictures come from map companies' servers, so a map here would send what you look at to them. Pasting a link or coordinates keeps everything in your browser.
My short link didn't give coordinates. Is that a problem?
Short links such as maps.app.goo.gl hide the coordinates, and reading them would mean visiting the link. The code stores the link instead, which works as long as the link does. For a code that doesn't depend on it, copy the coordinates from the app.
Does this code expire?
No. With coordinates, the place itself is stored in the code, so there's nothing to expire or switch off.
Do you see the places I enter?
No. Your codes are made in your browser. Nothing you type is sent anywhere.
