Thanks Martijn.
Still need to check if any random coordinate actually gives the correct answer.
But I found something I don't really understand yet.
Apparently the Longitude/Latitude of Japan are not the same as the Longitude/Latitude of the world (???)

So putting global lon/lat into Mapion doesn't actually works. Because they are not the same as the Japanese lat/lon... I don't know, I find this very confusing.

Apparently Japan has earthquake shifted lat/lon?

This is all far beyond my comprehension. Pretty nuts if you ask me...
And way beyond my initial wish to just have a Japan Mapcode from under my cursor.

Very cool! There are a few typos, but that's okay. Maybe extend the article to answer the seemingly important questions in the comment. But other than that I think your contribution is going to be really helpful π I really respect how you allowed yourself to "bite" into this issue and not let go until you found a suitable solution ππ»
