Abstract
A system is configured to receive location information associated with a geographic location, determine a web address associated with the location information, and determine a custom address associated with the location information and the web address, where the custom address is descriptive of the location information and is different than the web address. The system is further configured to store information associating the web address, the custom address, and the location information, and send the custom address to a user device, where the user device is able to use the custom address to obtain or share at least a portion of the location information at the web address.
