Abstract
A location-code system provides user-specific location codes corresponding to locations. A user can provision the codes. When the user accesses a location-based service, the user can then provide the service with a location code. The service, perhaps with the assistance of a location-code provider, can then translate the user-specific location code into location coordinates that can be used to facilitate a location-based service. Further, the location-code system can provide global, or generic, location-codes for particular locations, which any user can use as a basis to indicate a location.
