Show HN: A very simple way to share your location

I&#x27;ve created a super simple way to share your location. You simply go to mapme.in and then you get a unique link to text, tweet, email to a friend from your phone, tablet or desktop.<p>I decided to create this after a night out trying to describe where I was to friend. It was too much hassle spelling the street name and I wished I could of texted her a link. They weren&#x27;t familiar with area.<p>Appreciate any feedback, its super simple! :-)

I like how practical it is. I normally use WhatsApp or LINE for this, but even on my laptop the geolocation is fairly accurate.<p>Bug report:<p>I get an offset between what I see when I generate a location to what it shows using the URL on an incognito window. Correct one on the left, wrong one on the right:<p><a href="http://f.cl.ly/items/2D261R141A082F3G2V2w/cafe.png" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;f.cl.ly&#x2F;items&#x2F;2D261R141A082F3G2V2w&#x2F;cafe.png</a><p><a href="http://mapme.in/5298" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;mapme.in&#x2F;5298</a><p>(Yes, I just shared my location publicly on the internet. I&#x27;ll be fine.)

Hi guys! Thanks for your feedback. Using your suggestion, I&#x27;ve now updated the 4 digit IDs to 10 digits :)

Shows location of my ISP provider , google maps on phone using triangulation is accurate

Nice little project. The map placed me in the middle of a river, made me laugh

This is petrifying. My computer knows exactly where I am sitting.

Very simple service, I wish there were more like this.

Hmmm, this was rather out for me. I got: <a href="http://mapme.in/1515" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;mapme.in&#x2F;1515</a> however I live almost 5 miles away from there.
