I didn't know about plus codes. The explanation is largely gobbledygook to me, but that would also help with the more mundane problem of different address systems, like the Asian ones based on neighborhoods or housing developments.

What3words is a similar solution.

[andrewducker]

What3Words is a paid-for and proprietary. The version they're using in Africa is free and open.

Fair point. I hadn't picked that up. Thanks!
