Hi, This is mostly a feature request for Maps, but am happy to learn of alternatives, existing duplicate requests, or correction if I misunderstand anything.
>From my OLC specs reading, so far I’m aware that plus codes break down the Earth’s surface into cells with customizable precision (add/remove least significant digits on the right and possibly padding with 0, ex. CCCC0000+ vs CCCCCCCC+CCCC), optional use of a reference location (remove digits from the left and using a landmark name to select outer cell, ex. CCCC+CC City, Province), and the + formatting character to keep track of the place value, analagous to the decimal point. However, when a plus code is given in Google Maps, the *code always uses the same formatting and there isn’t any widget near the given plus code or in Maps configuration to customize it*. [image: pluscode.png] In my case, I don’t want to use the 6-digit version with a reference location (ex. GGHH+JJ City, Province) and would much prefer the absolute 10-digit equivalent (ex. CCFFGGHH+JJ) to avoid ambiguity and to be more aware of which larger regions correspond to which leftmost digits (ex. I want to recognize what continent/ocean is likely referenced with a CCFF0000+ prefix). Thanks and greetings, Owen Sorry if my examples are not within the valid coordinates range, I was too lazy to use real examples -- 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.
