Is it possible to get the Lat/Long pair given Plus Code?

[Sreenivasulu Saya]

Hi All,

Given a Plus Code, it is possible to get the Lat/Long values?

So fart, I did not find any mention of this in the office website of Plus Code: https://plus.codes/

If if there any documentation regarding this, please share it.

On that site, use the 'Find your code' button. Paste in the plus code, will display the location on map, can get the coordinates. 

Or to do the decoding yourself, there is lots of implementations in different languages can use

https://github.com/google/open-location-code

As long as wanting to decode a 'full' 11 charactor or 'global' plus code, if wanting to decode shortened codes (a locatalty as a name, and 7 chars plus code) - much more complicated as need a geocoder. Not sure anyone has released a full decoder as opensource that fully supports decoding short codes. 

https://github.com/google/open-location-code/wiki/Guidance-for-shortening-codes

Although there is an API if want that, means the complexity of decoding is offloaded to a remote server :)

Hi,

Here is a description of the algorithm for generating a plus code from long/lat:

https://github.com/google/open-location-code/blob/master/docs/specification.md

From this, an algorithm can be made to generate long/lat from a plus code of suitable definition.

My own attempt at applying a long/lat to plus code VBA algorithm on an ms access databases is available at:

Hi Barry,

Thanks a lot for your pointers to PlusCode to Lat/Long. I will explore the links you have shared.
