Plus Code
Open Location Codes (Plus Codes).
Plus Codes, also called Open Location Codes, are short codes for places that have no street address, like 87G2C2W9+ for a spot in downtown Pittsburgh. These tools encode a point, decode a code to the area it names, and shorten a code relative to a nearby town. Field teams and developers use them where addresses are missing or unreliable. Start with the encoder. Pitfall: a shortened code only makes sense next to its reference place; without that place, it cannot be turned back into one location.
I want to encode or decode a Plus Code
- Plus Code encoder
The Plus Code (Open Location Code) for a latitude and longitude at code length 2 to 15, with the area it covers.
- Plus Code decoder
The center and area of a Plus Code; a short code needs a nearby reference point to recover the full code.
I want to shorten a Plus Code near a reference place
- Shorten a Plus Code
The shortest form of a full Plus Code that still recovers uniquely near a reference point (such as the nearest town).
