Open Location Code: Applications, Art & Technology

The Open Location Code (OLC) is a geocode based on a system of grids for identifying any place on the Earth. Google's Zürich engineering office developed the system and published it in October 2014. Geocodes in the OLC system are referred to as Plus Codes.
