Overlay a layer on Grid

[Smita Kale]

Hi,

I am a new user of Plus code and I am excited to use it. Can anyone please let me know, how to overlay a layer of mapped houses on the grid. And also how can I download the plus codes of the houses in a particular area?

Thank you.

Can anyone please let me know, how to overlay a layer of mapped houses on the grid.

Well would need a 'database' of houses. Ie the mapped houses. 

For some countries that might be available from various suppliers. Or maybe they been mapped in OpenStreetMap (if in OSM, could be extracted/copied). 

(Note even if Google has a database for the location, you can't download Google's database. It might or might not be 'owned' by Google, possibly they purchased it from elsewhere, and dont have a licence to allows others to obtain a copy 'freely'. )

Once have the database its a programmer/developers job to use a Maps API or 'GIS' system to plot them on a map. (that Maps API or GIS system, could also incorperate displaying a lat/long or Plus Code based grid) 

 

And also how can I download the plus codes of the houses in a particular area?

Well again it comes down to having a 'database' of houses. Its common that such databases would contain coordinates (particularly if a 'mapped' database) - Plus Codes itself is a 'known algorithm', so can then calculate the Plus Codes from those coordinates. (ie a 'process' could run yourself with suitable scripting/program)

Thank you for your response. We have a cad, shp or kml / kmz file of house layer. Can we use it to overlay on the grid?

Hi,

Most GIS tools like QGIS or ArcGIS that could display a shapefile can also use a TMS layer to display over or under the shapefile contents.

If your tool supports TMS layers, which many do, you can put in the TMS URL and the grid will be used as a layer in your tool.

The URL to use in your tool (will not work in a web browser) is: https://tiles.plus.codes/grid/tms/{z}/{x}/{y}.png

Examples of how to change that URL to change how the grid displays is at: https://github.com/google/open-location-code/tree/master/tile_server

Examples of what it looks like are on the main page: https://tiles.plus.codes/

Examples of what the TMS layer looks like in various editors: https://twitter.com/BlakeGirardot/status/1036300493717467136

Please let us know if you have any questions.

Cheers

blake
