# geopos.link

Geographic positions can be shared with [geo: URI][rfc5870]s,
however popular messaging apps like Signal, WhatsApp and Telegram
[don't recognize such links][osmwiki:geo:], so this web application
provides a workaround that's privacy-respecting because the coordinates
are encoded in the URI fragment, which is never sent to the server.

Hosted under https://geopos.link/.
