The whole code,
#L0D5H-6976F. It needs nothing else: no city, no street, no network to read it back.- Said aloud, in Liaoning
Dandong 6976F: a name both people know, then the last five characters. They give back the exact code for anywhere within 4.0 km north or south and 4.1 km east or west of Dandong. Further away the same five name somewhere else, which is why the whole code is what goes on a sign.
- Copied by hand, or read over a phone
#L0D5H-6976F*H. The character on the end catches any single mistyped symbol and any two neighbours swapped.- As a link or a square code
Open it on the map, move to the exact door, and add directions if the code needs help: "blue gate, second floor". The link and the square code carry them. Nothing is kept on this site.
