Recently, Gaode, a subsidiary of Alibaba Group, officially launched a new location sharing feature. Users can open this function in the Gaode app and select any location in mainland China, Hong Kong, Macao, and Taiwan; after entering this set of numbers on Gaode's “Location Password” page, the recipient can directly obtain the corresponding location and navigate with one click. Among them, the essence of Gaode's location password is to convert professional latitude and longitude into a digital code that can also be directly used and transmitted by ordinary people. This first extended map capabilities from “place search” to “anywhere expression.” Users no longer need to remember complicated latitude and longitude; they only need 6 digits to accurately describe their location. A location password is like a “QR code” in a spatial world. Just as QR codes lower the threshold for information acquisition and dissemination, location passwords lower the threshold for location communication, so that for the first time, a location can be transmitted orally like a phone number.
