Maiaddy, the Nigerian location technology company behind the Loccode  system,  today launched Maimaps, a navigation platform that lets anyone in Nigeria search, share, and navigate to any location using a short, unique location code called a  Loccode. 

Maimaps is available now on iOS, Android, and the webDeveloper APIs and SDKs are  also live at launch. 

The Problem 

Sharing a location in Nigeria is still harder than it should be. Most Nigerians rely on  dropped pins, voice notes, and landmark directions to communicate where they are.  Delivery riders call customers two or three times before finding a street.  Businesses cannot agree on a single, consistent way to list their location across a  website, an invoice,  and a delivery platform. 

The root cause is structural: Nigeria lacks a reliable, standardised digital address  system. The mapping tools most people use were not built for Nigeria and do not  reflect how Nigerian locations are actually described or found. 

What Maimaps Does 

Maimaps works like any navigation app search for a road, a business, or a landmark,  and get directions. What makes it different is the Loccode. 

A Loccode is a short alphanumeric code, for example, LA8A 1FU that maps to a  specific street in Nigeria. Every street in the country has one. Anyone can type or  paste a Loccode into Maimaps and navigate directly to that exact location, with no  ambiguity. 

Built for Three Audiences at Once 

Consumers – download the app, find their Loccode, share it, navigate with it. 

Businesses a single, stable location identity that works consistently across every customer  touchpoint. 

Developers  – a free API and SDK to build location features into any Nigerian digital  product, from logistics tools to fintech applications to emergency response systems. 

Quote from the Founder

“Nigeria is one of the most dynamic economies in the world,but for too long, the  inability to reliably identify and reach a location has created friction that slows  everything down. We built Maimaps for every Nigerian who has ever had  to describe their location in a voice note.” 

– Obinna Onyejeli, Founder & CEO, Maiaddy
