When searching for a city or other entity on Google Maps, the outline/border of that entity is displayed. For a while, the same happened when searching on the plus.codes website, but this is no longer the case. Was it a deliberate decision to remove this functionality? Can it be brought back?
I think that displaying the outline of a city in combination with the OLC grid is a very useful tool when trying to discuss plus codes, including but not limited to contexts like this: https://github.com/google/open-location-code/issues/343 Issues like a plus code of a certain length being less or more precise than necessary to describe some entity on the map, or the fact that code areas of a certain size can overlap with different entities in a problematic way are much easier to describe and understand if it is possible to see both the grid and the outline of an entity at the same time. I assume that the purpose of the plus.codes website is to explain and motivate the use of plus codes more than to act as a tool for end users looking for a location, so it would be nice to have this back. -- Public site: http://www.openlocationcode.com/ Github project: https://github.com/google/open-location-code Demo site: http://plus.codes/ --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Plus Codes Community Forum" group.
