map sharing made easy

Map URLs are long. For example, the Google Maps link to San Diego looks like this:

http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&source=s_q&hl=en&geocode=&q=San+Diego&sll=37.0625,-95.677068&sspn=30.957823,56.513672&ie=UTF8&hq=&hnear=San+Diego,+California&ll=32.730108,-117.170563&spn=0.128233,0.220757&z=12

Try tweeting or texting this - not a lot of fun. An xm.my URL of San Diego looks like this:

http://xm.my/3W6r

That's 17 characters - short enough to type, text, tweet, post, and even spell or scribble down. And you can add your own description and message to the map.

three simple steps - no signup needed

No need to sign up - create short map links right away in three easy steps: choose a location - add a name - post your map.

ready-made airport code maps

If you want to link to the map of an airport, you don't need to create a short map link - we've already done that for you. Just take the 3-letter-airport code from your ticket or luggage tag, and append it to our home page link.

For example, San Francisco International becomes http://xm.my/SFO, London Heathrow is http://xm.my/LHR, and the Airport on the lovely Islands of the Maledives is http://xm.my/MLE - even one character shorter than "normal" xm.my links.

short links for airtrips

We've also pre-created short map links for airrips. Simply list all the 3-letter-airport codes that you're travelling through to get an overview map of your whole trip. For example, a for trip from Vienna (VIE) via Geneva (GVA) to Lisbon (LIS) use the following link:

http://xm.my/VIE-GVA-LIS

Simply list all the airports, seperated by a dash. You can use as many airports as you like.
