Plus codes make location information easier to use. Instead of two long numbers (atitude and longitude) there's a single, shorter code.
Most people in the world live on an unnamed street. Plus codes were created so that these people can have an address, so that they can receive deliveries, access emergency services, register to vote – and more. Plus codes are open source and free to use, for any purpose, forever.
Plus codes are based on latitude and longitude, so they already exist everywhere. The location 47°21'56.0"N 8°31'29.3"E has the plus code "8FVC9G8F+6W".
Plus codes can be converted to plus code addresses. These use place names and a short version of the code: "9G8F+6W, Zürich, Switzerland". This form is easier to recognise, and the shorter code means people have less digits to remember.
This add-on for Google Sheets allows you to convert between location coordinates and plus codes, using a menu function and additional sheet functions:
* PLUSCODE
* PLUSCODE_CENTER
* PLUSCODE_LENGTH
* PLUSCODE_BOUNDS
You can also convert between plus codes and addresses using the menu and additional functions:
* PLUSCODE_TO_ADDRESS
* PLUSCODE_FROM_ADDRESS
Plus codes use the Open Location Code algorithm, an open source Google project. See https://opensource.google.com/projects/open-location-code for links to the open source projects.

Extore is a team of professionals who are passionate about creating extensions for web browsers. This devotion also gives us opportunity to appreciate work of other people. We get inspired by useful, open source extensions made by developers all over the world. Our strong belief is that one should share helpful add-ons with others. That’s why we’d like to present you our ever-growing list of favourite extensions that have inspired us. Moreover, as you probably have already learned, sometimes struggling for the best brings an end to the good. Talking about add-ons it often turns out that an upgrade is worse then previous version. Also it can become really tricky to get back to the beloved version of your favourite extension. That’s why we’re going to make not only the latest, but all versions of our favourite (and we hope yours too) add-ons available for download. No more compromises, just stick to the version you really like!
