Thank you for the information!
I implemented the grid on my OLC (Plus) code Generator & Search
web-application: http://ausleuchtung.ch/olc/
It works fine. The grid appears almost immediately.
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.
Best regards,
Oleksiy

We're really excited to launch a free plus code grid service at

(Plus codes is an open source algorithm to combine location with
locality names, so that you can have address-like references in places
where street addresses don't exist, like this school in Ghana: 8MF9+5C
Sunyani. Plus codes are displayed and supported in Google Maps as well
as some other apps.)
One of the strengths of plus codes is that they are based on a grid.
Up to now, the only way to visualise the plus code grid was with the
JavaScript grid overlay library, and that only worked with Google Maps.
The grid service means you can fetch the grid and overlay it on top of
your map using any library or application that supports TMS requests,
using either GeoJSON or image tiles. This could be a GIS 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
using Google Earth. Just download the file at
https://grid.plus.codes/pluscode.kml and open it with Google Earth
(desktop, app or web), and it will draw the grid whenever you move the
map.
Whatever format you choose, the level of detail of the grid depends on
the zoom level. If you zoom in, it will show more precise grid levels.
The image tiles display the plus code for each grid square, 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.
