Show HN: A very simple way to share your location (mapme.in)

I'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.

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't familiar with area.

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.

Bug report:

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:

(Yes, I just shared my location publicly on the internet. I'll be fine.)

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

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

Hmmm, this was rather out for me. I got: http://mapme.in/1515 however I live almost 5 miles away from there.

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

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

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