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.
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:
It seems you are reusing four digit IDs? The address space might not be big enough for HN! My previous link is now showing a location in Ljubljana, Slovenia.

Appreciate any feedback, its super simple! :-)
