Google launches "plus codes": open geocodes for locations that don't have street addresses

Oh, this is new?
I didn’t realise it was new.
Been seeing this for some time in the GMaps app.

Granted, I’m in the beta program, but I didn’t know this wasn’t rolled out generally.

And, just btw, I love the principle. Because basically everybody can use GMaps, this is going to be useful. All other solutions might be better or easier to remember or whatever - but since GMaps is very easy to use, and most people know it, this might lift off.
