Mapcodes and territories

Mapcodes are short codes representing locations on Earth. A mapcode consists of a territory abbreviation and a proper code (which in turn consists of two groups of letters and digits separated by a dot).

For example, the tip of the Eiffel Tower in Paris is located at FRA 4J.P2. Here, FRA is the territory code (defining France) and 4J.P2 is the proper code defining a precise location within the context of France.

For example, the White House in Washinhton DC is located at US-DC BM.QY. Here, US-DC is the territory code (defining the Federal District of Columbia in the United States of America), and BM.QY is the proper code defining a precise location within this context.

This document lists all possible territory abbreviations, and explains their origin.

Abbreviations of mapcodes

Note that people in France will seldom need to mention the context (France) to each other, just like they will seldom need to mention it as part of their address, They live in that context, and unless explicitly stated otherwise, will assume France as a context. Therefor, they will usually “abbreviate” the Eiffel Tower mapcode to 4J.P2.In the USA, this is also the case, but the state is not always assumed. It is more likely that people in the US will abbreviate the White House mapcode to DC BM.QY than to just BM.QY. The mapcode system is designed to allow such abbreviations: if no context is specified at all, it will assume the last context explicitly mentioned, or try to derive the context (e.g. from the fact that the user is known to be in France). This also happens if only a state is given, (like DC instead of US-DC). Fortunately, most states have an abbreviation that is unique in the world (at least the world of mapcodes). Not all of them, though. For example, both the USA and India have a state with abbreviation IN.

The main territories of the world

To start with, the full ISO 3166-1 alpha 3 list of 249 territories and their 3-letter abbreviations (unchanged since 01-11-2011 at the time of writing) are in the mapcode territory database:

The states of the world

In eight very large countries (The USA, Canada, Mexico, Brazil, India, Australia, Russia, and China), an address has little meaning without knowing the state, province or oblast (just like elsewhere, an address has little meaning without knowing the country). For example, there are 27 cities called Washington in the USA. If you want to refer to a location in the capital city, you would always refer to "Washington DC".

For each of these counties, the ISO 3166-2:XX territory codes were implemented, which are codes consisting of a two-letter country code, a hyphen, and a two-letter state code. For example, Florida has the territory code US-FL.

The non-standard mapcode alternatives are to elegantly cope with widely-used abbreviations (e.g. used for vehicle registrations). Also note SKM as an alternative for Sikkim IN-SK (see the chapter on “Legacy or reserved 3-letter codes”).

China

ISO 3166-2:CN defines provinces, municipalities, autonomous regions and special administrative regions for China. For three of those (Taiwan, Hong Kong and Macao), an ISO 3166 3-letter territory code is also available. Since the ISO 3166-2:CN codes are numerical, mapcode also implements the PRC GB/T 2260 codes as an alternative. This is a Chinese national standard, issued by the Standardization Administration of China (SAC), the Chinese National Committee of the ISO and IEC.

Australia

ISO 3166-2:AU states and territories. Some are 3 letters, some are 2 letters. For two of these, mapcode allows 2-letter alternatives, actually ISO 3166-2 codes that were deleted in the past. For NSW, VIC, and ACT, the old codes conflicted with state abbreviations elsewhere.

The following four external territories of Australia do not have a ISO 3166-2:AU code, but they all have two-letter ISO 3166 country codes, which mapcodes bases its territory codes on. For legacy’s sake, AU-NI is also defined for Norfolk Island.Note that these territories all have a three-letter “main territory” code.

Finally, the Jarvis Bay Territory is far enough away from the other Australian territories to merit its own territory code. As there is no ISO 3166 code for it, mapcode defines a 2- and 3-letter code:

Special cases

The World

To cover the world as a whole, the special code AAA was introduced:

Territory ISO 3166-1 World AAA

Although World mapcodes never really need to include this code explicitly, since there is no other territory context it can ever be confused with. World mapcodes are always 9 characters, and no other mapcode is ever 9 characters.

Antarctica claims

The following non-standard codes are made available as mapcode territory abbreviations for claims to parts of Antarctica:

Mapcode Territory Codes 1.0 Page 18

2-letter country codes

All countries have a 3-letter code, but as explained above, a few countries use 2-letter codes in combination with a state code. To make the use of mapcode easier for people, systems should be implemented such that

1. 3-letter country codes are allowed instead of 2-letter codes when specifying a state; for example, USA-FL is a valid alternative for US-FL.

2. In four cases, the two-letter country code is unique, and should be allowed as a valid alternative for the official 3-letter code:

Official code Mapcode alternativeUSA USAUS AURUS RUCHN CN

This is not possible for the other four countries:

MEX MX would conflict with MX-MXCAN CA would conflict with US-CABRA BR would conflict with IN-BRIND IN would conflict with US-IN

Legacy or reserved 3-letter codes

The following 3-letter “legacy” or “reserved” ISO 3166 codes are available as valid mapcode territory abbreviations:

Conflicting abbreviations

Sates, provinces, oblasts etc. get a territory code of the form CC-SS where CC is a country code and SS is a (2 or 3 letter) state code. In most cases, this territory code can be abbreviated to just the state code SS, even internationally, since in most cases, the state code is unique in the world. This is, however, certainly not true for all cases. Below, the potential conflicts are explicitly listed.
