Open Location Code

ID: open-location-code

Open Location Code (OLC), also known as "Plus Codes," is a geocoding system developed by Google. It provides a way to represent any location on Earth using a short string of characters. OLCs were designed to address the limitations of traditional addresses in areas where formal addressing systems may be inadequate or nonexistent. An Open Location Code consists of a combination of letters and numbers that can be used to pinpoint a location precisely.
