Drop a pin, get a link.addypin.com

https://HOUSE1.addypin.com    →  opens the location in any map app
HOUSE1@addypin.com            →  email it, get the same back

Pick a spot on the map, get a six-character handle you can say out loud. Share it as a link or an email address. It opens in whichever map app the person on the other end actually uses — Google, Apple, Waze, Yandex, Baidu, Amap, Naver, Mappls, Neshan, OsmAnd, Moovit, Yango.

No accounts, no app to install, no tracking. The link doesn't expire and shortcodes are never reused, so what you share today still points to the same place years from now.


Who it's for

People in places where addresses don't work. Half the world doesn't have reliable street addresses — informal neighborhoods, rural areas, fast-growing cities, anywhere a courier ends up calling for directions. Drop a pin once, share the link forever, skip the address entirely.

People sharing across different map apps. Most "share location" buttons only work if both sides use the same app. Send a Google Maps link to someone in China, Russia, Korea, or Iran and it's useless to them. addypin gives a neutral link that opens cleanly in whatever app they have.

People crossing coordinate systems. Chinese map apps (Baidu, Amap) don't use the same coordinate system as the rest of the world — a raw GPS coordinate dropped into Baidu lands a few hundred meters off. addypin handles the conversion automatically so the pin shows up in the right spot no matter which app opens it.
