The approach that I - and everyone else who applies the same logic -
propose, is:
1. A zooms to their house on OSMAnd.
2. A clicks on the house to invoke the plus code computation function in
OSMAnd.
3. OSMAnd displays the plus code.
4. A tells B the plus code.
5. B enters the plus code into OSMAnd, and OSMAnd applies the reverse
computation function.
6. B knows where to go.
This approach requires extra functionality in OSMAnd to apply the plus
code computation, but libraries and code for that exist. This approach
does NOT require that someone else has added the particular location to
OSM before - it works everywhere on the planet. Also, this approach does
not require OSM to store all the plus codes.
OsmAnd already supports Plus codes. You can do exactly this already. No
extra coding required.
Go to general settings, then coordinate format, then set 'OLC'. Then it
will display Plus codes for any location on the map that you pick. It
works fine for any object on the map, or even blank spaces if you want.
No need for any specific tags.
