It seems to work, but its value isn't plainly clear to me. (I'm sure you had a cool reason to create it -- I just want to know what that reason was!)
[edit] Based on the use case provided, I think that a very simple change could be made that would increase the value tremendously: generate, as well as the code, a randomized link that can be more easily sent to others through text message or email.
Thanks for the feedback so far. I'm often in a situation where I need to tell someone where I am in a strange location (moved to a new city - coordinating with friends). This involves finding a street sign (which aren't always visible). Geolocation solves that part of the problem. I imagine that speaking a sequence of three codes over a phone is relatively easy. I wish I could make it a single 2-digit number or perhaps two, but then it won't scale to too many users simultaneously :(
I think you've found a good problem, but I honestly think this is a very narrow solution. If anything people are going to be text messaging their locations to one another, not speaking them over the phone, in which case you'd just send a link. If they are on a call there's no guarantee that both parties can use data while talking.
Valid point. Right now, my GF and I are texting these codes to each other ... this wasn't something I imagined. Accessing the net while talking is another issue you rightly bring up.
