I hate having to memorize locations by cryptic street addresses that are imprecise and sometimes ambiguous. Geo coordinates are precise and accurate, but they're impossible to remember... until now. I made a program that maps a two-way relationship between geo coordinates (down to precision of 1/100000th of a degree for latitude and longitude) to short English sentences. My server responds to queries asking for coordinates or sentences. A user can visit a CGI script URL in a web browser to query the server, but this is meant as an API for applications to interact with. There is no "nice" front end.

The 1/100000th of a degree precision is amazing. The English sentences generated by my program can determine which side of a very small room someone is in.
