Need to quickly send a map with a position to somebody? Use this tool to locate the position, place a marker and generate a URL that you can then send to somebody else. The recipient then clicks on the link and they will then see the same position and marker.
This tool can be used to illustrate to someone else a point or place of interest using a web browser interface. The URL generated can be sent to somebody else who will then see the same map that you have saved. The point of the marker and the level of zoom are transferred in the URL. You can always check what the map will look like by coping the URL into a new browser window.
This could come in handy when you want to quickly let somebody know a point or location of interest. For example, if you had a visitor coming to your house or office and wanted to give them an idea of where it is located.
The URL is automatically converted to a shortened TinyURL to make your link shorter.
A mix of PHP, Javascript, htaccess redirects and Leaflet Maps.

Excellent tool to give directions; instead of a written map. Would it be possible to %u201Cautomatically%u201D copy the link; iPad copy is somewhat difficult.

By Alan on 24th May 2014This is awesome tool! In some next version it would be great to have Copy button that user can click after positioning marker and in that way put tiny url into clipboard. just little bit easier to end user.
Great job, really...
This site is very good
