Harold Goddijn, CEO of TomTom, said: "Mapcode is an important development in creating a new global standard that makes it easy for anyone to pinpoint any location. The technology will be supported by TomTom, and we hope to see other organisations adopting it in the near future."
This new process could be attractive to countries like the UK where businesses have to pay to access the Royal Mail's Postcode Address File in order to see full postal addresses and postcodes. Using Mapcode, users of the software need only type in a location or scroll over the map like you do in Google Maps and drop a pin in order to see a location's Mapcode.
The software was developed by the founders of TomTom but has been donated to the Mapcode Foundation to ensure it is readily available.
