Hi Andreas, Thanks for your comments.
The original intent of using plus codes was that users would actually remember their code and share it with people in lieu of explaining directions. At the moment, I don't have enough users to know whether that will happen but I'm having some doubts about it for two reasons. Firstly, most of my target base (Tanzanians) are not used to the idea of sharing an address (code) to give directions. Secondly, my app already has the ability to share the address with users in the app or with external messaging apps so why would the user bother to remember the plus code and share it? Ultimately, the main aim of the app should be to get a person from point A to point B in locations without proper street names, building and unit numbers and I'm hoping to improve the app to make this experience better. My idea is to use the geotag to help a person get to the address with the help of google maps, but then to focus on pictures of the street, building, entrance uploaded by the user to allow people using the app to confirm that they are at the right location.
