GeoURL is a directory containing a large list of URLs and their mappings to a certain location on Earth. Its main use is for finding websites according to their proximity to a given location. The GeoURL directory is open, and anyone can add an address to it at any time.

The physical location of a page is determined by its meta HTML element, using the name "ICBM" and content of its latitude and longitude in decimal form, with north and east being positive, and south and west being negative (for example, New York, New York would be "40.71416, -74.00638"). The Dublin Core DC.title attribute is used for a page's title.

GeoURL was down for much of 2004 and early 2005 for renovations into version 2.0.
