More of a feature suggestion than a request, so some discussion may be due.
Google map users may have noticed a new feature called plus codes. They are described in their help system as
Find and share places using plus codes
Plus codes work just like street addresses. When an address isn’t available, you can use a plus code to find or share a place on Google Maps, like your home or business.
A plus code includes:
6 or 7 letters and numbers
A town or city
Here’s an example of a plus code: X4HM+3C, Cairo, Egypt .
I know this is old, but I still think this is a good idea. Plus codes are just so much simpler.
A simple explanation for Plus Codes are that they are short alphanumeric codes that work as an alternative to an address or Lat/Long coordinates, they work similarly in the sense that there is a grid of the entire world, but you can get a more accurate location with a shorter, easier to share code. They are made by google, but it is open source. No reliance on Google is required.
