My use case involved solving a puzzle with the solution pointing to a particular public phone in Osaka. Hence my need for precision.
The parameters I used are "well" documented. You can find one such example in https://gis-lab.info/docs/nima-tr8350.2-wgs84fin.pdf. Documentation, however, is not meant for the uninitiated such as me... But I am persistent ;-)
BTW... I used Mapion in the past but did not realize they also provide MapCode. I will refine my PowerShell / Selenium script to drive the Mapion web page (e.g. https://www.mapion.co.jp/m2/34.735775957141,135.55287836095266,16) and with a few simulated clicks I can get the MapCode.
This addresses my requirements in a pragmatic way and given I typically need less than 50 waypoints, I can easily feed the coordinates to the script and collect the MapCodes.
