Kinda wish I could just give it an address, rather than sharing my phone location data.

Years ago I made an app that did exactly this as my first attempt at mobile development. It's quite easy to do, as (at least at the time) wikipedia provided a free API and I was able to get another one which got coordinates from an entered address. It's not on the Google play store anymore as I didn't keep it up to date with the development requirements Google has added over the years, but it could easily be recreated by a programmer with interest.

Here it is: https://github.com/pkeg/mobi.thisplace

Almost certainly doesn't work anymore and probably wasn't built well in the first place. It was one of my first projects, haha.
