Abstract
Identification of a place and navigation to reach are two most important things for any traveler. Although Google map has been helping the society at large in many ways, it has some disadvantages. For example, all the postal addresses cannot be identifiable through Google map APP. There is no unique place for identification as popular name of a location has several places. Additionally, it depends wholly on GPS accuracy and may sometimes be away from the desired location by 100 meters. Some of these disadvantages are overcome from our new way of identification of a place. Our innovation is simple but its applications are many. We can provide code for any place on the land, water or ice-covered surface of this planet with 8-digit alphanumeric code (TH code). This code is integrated with Google map and implemented in Android based mobile phones and can easily be extended to IOS based Apple mobile phones as well. The accuracy of our code location is about one meter anywhere in the world. To get the code of a location, GPS is not required but internet service is necessary. However, to navigate from one place to the other both GPS and Internet are required. Our APP is quite simple to operate and useful to many and has applications at least in ten different sectors. In this present-day Corona virus scenario, our APP is vital to track human beings, goods, medical equipment etc. to reduce human loss, economy loss due to quarantine/lockdown issues and it is the need of the hour.
