SMALLEST ADDRESSABLE AREA
How it works
One standard the whole world can read.
Today, addressing changes at every border: town to town, city to city, state to state, country to country. To work across them you'd have to master a tangle of systems that don't line up. AimLocate replaces that with one precise standard: the same everywhere, and simple enough for anyone to use.
THE ADDRESS
Derived completely from latitude and longitude.
Every AimLocate address comes 100% from latitude and longitude. No committees, no politics, no bias. The same point always produces the same address, anywhere on earth.
1Locate
GPS
A precise satellite coordinate for the spot, and the single source of truth.
2Postal code
063-107
The coordinate becomes a short, hierarchical regional code.
3Local grid
10 km²
That postal-code area drops into a 10 km × 10 km grid, divided 0000–9999, one meter per unit.

6429 N 3929 W
Meters north/south and east/west of the corner, down to a single 1 m × 1 m cell.
6429 N 3929 W 063-107
North / South value
Meters north or south of the grid's corner: the north–south position.
East / West value
Meters east or west of the grid's corner: the east–west position.
Postal code
Which 10 km square on earth, derived from the coordinate.
Same coordinate in, same address out, every time, with no human judgment in between.
FULLY CUSTOMIZABLE
One location. Your format.
The address is always derived from the same coordinates, but how it reads is up to you. Governments and businesses tailor length, precision, separators, and labels to fit their standards and existing systems.

Standard · full precision (1 m × 1 m)
Same coordinates underneath, four ways to present them. Your scheme can go further.
BUILT TO BE UNDERSTOOD
No key. No lookup table.
No PhD required.
Most digital addressing systems hand you a scrambled code that means nothing without their proprietary key to decode it. We took the opposite approach: an address you can read, share, and find on sight.
Other systemsEncoded
8FW4µV75+8X9Q
✕ Needs a proprietary key or app to decode
✕ No hierarchy: the code has no sense of direction
- The code tells a human nothing on its own
- Locked to one vendor's lookup system
- Subscription or licence to use
- Two doors apart can look completely unrelated
AimLocateReadable
6429 N 3929 W 063-107
✓ Reads on sight, no key needed
✓ No subscription. No fee.
- North–south and east–west are right there in the address
- Derived straight from latitude and longitude
- Easy to say aloud, write down, and double-check
- Hierarchical: the numbers climb one way and fall the other
Built so anyone, whether a resident, a driver, a clerk, or a responder, can pick it up and use it.
Precision
Down to a single square meter.
Conventional addresses point at a building, a street, or nothing at all. AimLocate resolves to a 1m × 1m cell, so a specific entrance, meter, or asset has its own address.
- Address a specific doorway, meter, or gate, not just the building
- Pinpoint apartments, units, and floors individually
- The same 1 m accuracy in a dense city or an open field
Additive
Adds to what you have. It doesn't replace it.
We're not here to throw out your existing addresses. AimLocate works alongside the addressing you already use, filling the gaps and adding precision where there was none, so the systems and records you've built keep working.
- Complements existing street addresses and registries
- Fills in the places conventional addressing left blank
- Keep your current records. We layer on top, not over
Scales
Updates in real time as a country changes.
A fixed addressing scheme is like a photograph: accurate the day it's taken, then slowly out of date. And what country isn't changing? AimLocate updates in real time: new homes and developments get an address the moment they exist, without disturbing a single address around them.
- New developments get an address the day they appear
- Updates instantly, with no re-numbering, no redrawing
- Adding an address never changes its neighbors
Compatibility
Plugs into the systems you already run.
An address is only useful if your tools can read it. AimLocate delivers a clean layer that drops into your existing GIS and data stack, with no rip-and-replace.
- Export to Esri, ArcGIS, QGIS, CSV, and GeoJSON
- Tag each address with the data your team needs
- Your data stays yours. Export it anytime
NOT JUST BUILDINGS
If it has a location, it can have an address.
An AimLocate address isn't tied to a structure. It's tied to a point on the ground. That means you can address far more than homes and offices: anything you need to find, reach, or keep track of.
Homes & buildings
Utility meters
Water points
Farmland & plots
Market stalls
Towers & infrastructure
Streetlights
Vehicles & assets
Aid & relief sites
Any point on the ground
“If it has a location, it can have an address — and if it has an address, it can be measured, served, and improved.”

QUESTIONS
Common questions.
How is this different from GPS coordinates?
GPS latitude/longitude is precise but hard for people to read, share, or remember. AimLocate is derived directly from those coordinates, then expressed as a short postal code plus a simple grid address (like 6429 N 3929 W 063-107) that's still pinpoint-accurate to a 1 m × 1 m cell, but readable and easy to use without any lookup tool.
Does a place need an existing street address?
No. Our addressing doesn't depend on prior street data, postcodes, or signage. That's the point: we can address rural land, informal settlements, new developments, and infrastructure that conventional systems leave blank.
Can it address things other than buildings?
Yes. Anything with a location can have an address: assets, utilities, water points, delivery doors, equipment, or any point on the ground. You can attach whatever attributes you need to each one.
How does it fit our existing GIS?
AimLocate delivers a clean layer designed to integrate with the tools you already use, exporting to Esri, ArcGIS, QGIS, and standard formats. It augments your stack rather than replacing it.
