Thank you Richard, I did come in late. Some of the really insulting comments on that github thread caught my eye and I didn't read back to understand the issue fully. As I said, we'll look at all of this and put a wiki page together. Getting that pull request merged would be a great first step in helping the folks who this matters to explore the use of plus codes. I see the goolge manager commented on it. And while he makes some suggestions, I would rather see exactly what the PR has now be merged and we can go from there.
