Nice hack Rick! Since we started Naymit, we've come across many lightweight/MVP projects of the sort, but yours is really similar in the sense that what you share is a (unique) name/string. We think this detail makes looking a place up much simpler (you named a few competitors' flaws yourself), plus it opens new ways of sharing locations (a name can be told or printed, you don't always need to email/text).

Thanks for sharing.
