What are Plus Codes?
Plus Codes are like street addresses for people or places that don’t have one.
Google Plus Codes, also known as "Open Location Codes," is a geocoding system developed by Google that identifies any location on the Earth's surface using a unique alphanumeric code.
Traditional GPS uses latitude and longitude coordinates to identify a location on a map, but Google Plus Codes offer a more user-friendly alternative, especially in areas where conventional street addresses are not well-defined or do not exist.
Google Plus Codes provide a more precise way to specify a location within a larger area. For example, a traditional street address may not accurately pinpoint a location within a large building or a park, whereas a Google Plus Code can precisely identify that location.
Google Plus Codes are shorter and more accessible to remember than traditional latitude and longitude coordinates, making them more convenient for sharing location information. They can be used in digital maps, messaging apps, or even printed on business cards or posters.
