The Open Location Code (OLC) is a geocode based on a system of regular grids for identifying an area anywhere on the Earth. [1] It was developed at Google's Zürich engineering office, [2] and released late October 2014. [3] Location codes created by the OLC system are referred to as "plus codes".
Using the 6-digit postal code to look up the Central Public Lirbary in the OneMap application. Due to Singapore being a small city-state and most buildings having singular, dedicated delivery points, the postal code can be used as a succinct and precise identifier of buildings in Singapore, akin to a geocode.
Address geocoding, or simply geocoding, is the process of taking a text-based description of a location, such as an address or the name of a place, and returning geographic coordinates, frequently latitude/longitude pair, to identify a location on the Earth's surface. [1]
Natural Area Code, also called Universal Address, is a geocode generated by the Natural Area Coding System - a public domain geocode system for identifying an area (also a location when the area is relatively small enough) anywhere on the Earth, or a volume of space anywhere around and inside the Earth.
There are also mixed systems, using a syntactical partition, where for example the first part (code prefix) is a name-code and the other part (code suffix) is a grid-code. Example: Mapcode entrance to the elevator of the Eiffel Tower in Paris is FR-4J.Q2, where FR is the name-code [9] and 4J.Q2 is the grid-code. Semantically France is the ...

The Unique Property Reference Number (UPRN) is a unique number (a geocode) for every addressable location—e.g., a building, a bus stop, a post box, a feature in the landscape, or a defibrillator—in Great Britain. [1] Over 42 million locations have UPRNs, which can be found in Ordnance Survey's AddressBase databases. [1]
An MGRS grid reference is a point reference system. When the term 'grid square' is used, it can refer to a square with a side length of 10 km (6 mi), 1 km, 100 m (328 ft), 10 m or 1 m, depending on the precision of the coordinates provided.
