The Tanzania Development trust has calculated the Plus Code addresses for 17 million building points in Tanzania and have added a sample village (1800 points) as a test. https://www.openstreetmap.org/changeset/59213224
The Python code on Github works great to calculate Plus Codes. We did used these tags: addr:pluscode:full (the 8+2 digit full Plus Code) addr:pluscode:area (the first 4 digits of the full Plus Code which is a 1 degree by 1 degree lat long area) addr:pluscode:local (the second 4 digits + last 2 digits which used with a local name becomes the local address) On Thu, Aug 9, 2018 at 6:48 AM, Stefano <saba...@gmail.com> wrote: > Hi, > there's already a pull request > https://github.com/openstreetmap/openstreetmap-website/pull/1818 > > Stefano > > Il giorno gio 9 ago 2018 alle ore 15:45 Yuri Astrakhan < > yuriastrak...@gmail.com> ha scritto: > >> I'm a big fan of plus codes, and even have a pending implementation of it >> in the Elasticsearch (as an aggregation hashing function).
