GenMapCode

Japan GPS MapCode Converter

Free · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.

Driving in Japan is an incredible experience, but navigating in a rental car comes with a unique technological hurdle. While almost all modern Japanese rental cars are equipped with highly accurate built-in GPS systems, typing English addresses into them is notoriously difficult, and phone mounts are rarely provided. The solution? MapCodes. Developed by Denso, a MapCode is a 9 to 12-digit number that pinpoints any location in Japan with an accuracy of up to 3 square meters. GenMapCode bridges the gap between your smartphone research and your rental car's legacy hardware. HOW IT WORKS: Find your destination, restaurant, or hotel on the Google Maps app. Tap "Share" and send the link directly to GenMapCode. Instantly receive the precise MapCode. Type the numeric code into your rental car's dashboard and drive! FEATURES: Seamless iOS Share Sheet integration. Smart clipboard detection for copied links. Clean, distraction-free interface. High-resolution accuracy (down to 3m²). Say goodbye to typing complex addresses on clunky car touchscreens. Plan your route on your phone, generate the code, and hit the road. Disclaimer: GenMapCode is a community-driven utility and is not affiliated with Google LLC or Denso Corporation. Always verify the destination on your vehicle's GPS screen before driving and obey local traffic laws.
