with mapname you can create a unique name for any particular point of interest as in prefix(id).group(optional).suffix.
Once a mapname created then this can be used as an address, discovered and socialised.
Mapname is free and has no advertisements. At onboarding pick a unique prefix. That is all about onboarding.
Users can also organise collection of places with just two words, for example coffee shops i like at NY is abc.1 or I have visited Melbourne last year where you can see at abc.melbourne
Mapname designed as an anonymous Social Network where users particular perspective engage with like minded users, instead of their persona. Personal Images are not promoted.

You can consider this as "Pinterest of coordinates"
Another way to think this; mapname(s) to coordinate(s) is similar to domain name(s) to ip address(es).
Instead of hard to remember IP Addresses we use domain names. Similarly instead of coordinates or map list urls a mapname can be in use.
Between mapname and a coordinate 1->1 or N->1 or 1->N relationships are possible.
Whenever a mapname visited, the most relevant what3words attached to it so that you may communicate whichever is more relevant.
Mapname is trying to reduce friction while describing addresses and organising points of interests, for transportation, navigation, directions uses integrations.
A mapname can be viewed in your favourite maps (Google Maps, Apple Maps, Yandex Maps, Bing Maps, Baidu Maps) or with what3words, citymapper, waze.
it is available on android & ios, feel free play with it, any feedback or question is appreciated.
What other location/navigation/map integration would you benefit?
