This sounds like what3words (http://what3words.com http://what3words.com), except they're using unpronounceable alphanumeric addresses whereas what3words uses 3 actual words (and what3words is 3x3 meters instead of 5x5 meters). For example, for the coordinate that "97.N7" maps to, what3words calls "narrow.career.puppets".
- mcphage 11y agoOne of the big differences that I see is that mapcodes are more address-like and what3words are more hash-like—two similar mapcodes are nearby (and that's by design), but two similar what3words addresses may be on opposite sides of the planet (and that's also by design).
