Unique application for providing the official geographic addressing system adopted in the Emirates of Dubai, Ajman, Umm Al Quwain, Fujairah & Ras Al Khaimah.
Dubai is the first city in the world to use numbers called "Makani Number" to exactly locating building’s entrance(s). Simple addressing, consists of 10 digits only (E.g.: 30032 95320) which doesn’t require using names, codes or explaining the location’s direction.

Great app but the map should be updated
Makani is a great system for locating addresses and location. No need to refer and explain one's location reference to a landmark or a building or any other known location. Simply share the Makani number and the person can find your location using the Makani app.
However the map used is an old one. The map shows the area where I live as it used to be 2 years ago. Houses, buildings and roads that where built in my area over the past few years show up as empty land on the map, as it used to be more then 2 years ago.
Key landmarks like the Jumeirah Palm, the extension of the creek and its connection with Jumeirah beach and several other locations show up as they used to be few years ago.
Once the map is updated, this app will be a 5 star app for finding locations.
