About this app
Planning a road trip in Japan? Getting around is incredible, but typing English or Romaji addresses into a Japanese rental car navigation system can be frustrating, inaccurate, and time-consuming.
GenMapCode is the ultimate travel utility for tourists driving in Japan. It bridges the gap between the Google Maps app on your phone and the native GPS in your rental car by generating exact Denso MapCodes.
Why use MapCodes?
A MapCode is a precise 9-to-12 digit number used by almost all Japanese car navigation systems (Navi). It is far more accurate than searching by phone numbers or trying to type complex Japanese addresses. Simply punch in the number, and your GPS will take you exactly to the parking lot entrance of your destination.
How it works:
Find your destination (hotel, restaurant, or hidden scenic spot) in the Google Maps app.
Tap "Share" and send the link directly to GenMapCode.
GenMapCode instantly calculates the proprietary numeric MapCode for that exact location.
Type the number into your rental car's GPS and start driving!
Key Features:
• Instant Conversion: Flawlessly parses Google Maps URLs to generate accurate MapCodes.
• Native Share Integration: No need to copy and paste. Just use the standard Android "Share" menu directly from your map.
• History Log: Keep track of the MapCodes you have generated during your trip for quick access later.
• Lightweight & Fast: Designed to be incredibly fast, saving you time in the driver's seat so you can focus on the road.
Whether you are exploring the snowy roads of Hokkaido, cruising the coastline of Okinawa, or navigating the mountains of Nagano, GenMapCode takes the stress out of your Japanese road trip.
