Re: [OSM-talk] Plus code grid service

[Oleksiy Muzalyev]

Please, ignore my question about grid color. I solved it myself. The 
grid works fine on the OSM map with Leaflet. Colors change all right.

Brgds,
O.

I read that it is possible to change the color of the grid, and that 
it is done via col=white or col=red. Could you, please, specify where 
I can add this option? When I add it after "tms: true," it does not work.

application, or a map that uses the Google Maps, Leaflet or Open 
Layers libraries, etc.


The service also produces KML, making it possible to view the grid

the KML format displays an info bubble when you click on a grid cell, 
and the GeoJSON output includes it so you can display it any way you 
want.

As long as they know just which code system you are using. This is just 
another in a long list of 'postcode for no postcode' areas. Have any of 
them actually gained traction on the ground?

Re: [OSM-talk] Plus code grid service

[Rasťo Šrámek]

A plus code is not intended to have the same function as latitude and
longitude. It is intended as a replacement for "street name, house number"
address parts where those don't exist and cannot be reasonably created.  If
you write
Firstname Lastname
WF8R+H6 Praia
Cabo Verde

on an envelope and drop it off at your local post office, wherever you
live, it will be delivered. If you instead wrote 14°54'59.3"N 23°30'33.8"W,
it would not even be mailed out.
You can think of a plus code as just the relevant bit of latitude and
longitude for addressing within a locality.

One of the reasons might be that it's about areas (covering some
interesting places), not points.

It is still not clear to me why new way of writing latitude and longitude is 
supposed to be interesting.

[OSM-talk] Plus code grid service
