Add a plus code to a marker - Open Location Code (OLC)

Definition of plus codes

Open Location Code is a system for identifying areas on the surface of the Earth.

The alphanumeric codes are called "plus codes" because each code includes a "+" character.

The resolution of the specified area is defined by the number of digits in the plus code. Longer plus codes identify a smaller area.

Plus codes are often used as a replacement for street addresses, especially in places where buildings aren’t numbered or streets aren’t named.
