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".
{} – works with "fuzzy" or ambiguous dates {{Birth date and age}} – used on most biographical entries {{Birth date and age2}} – calculates age at a specified date {{Birth based on age as of date}} – used when a reference mentions the age of a person as of the date of the reference's publication {{Birth year and age}} {}
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]
Since a geohash (in this implementation) is based on coordinates of longitude and latitude the distance between two geohashes reflects the distance in latitude/longitude coordinates between two points, which does not translate to actual distance, see Haversine formula. Example of non-linearity for latitude-longitude system:
But a geocode with more than 6 characters is difficult for remember. On the other hand, a geocode based on standard name (or abbreviation or the complete name) is easier to remember. This suggests that a "mixed code" can solve the problem, reducing the number of characters when a name can be used as the "context" for the grid-based geocode.
If birth date is BC, set to "b". – (optional) gregorian: If Julian date is used, this parameter is required. The date provided is used for emitting the correct microformat translation of the birth date. parm 1 (optional) dt: This value if present is the ISO8601 value emitted to indicate microformat birth date. It overrides any calculated value.
Google Sheets is a spreadsheet application and part of the free, web-based Google Docs Editors suite offered by Google. Google Sheets is available as a web application ; a mobile app for: Android , iOS , and as a desktop application on Google's ChromeOS .
The mapcode system is an open-source geocode system consisting of two groups of letters and digits, separated by a dot. It represents a location on the surface of the Earth, within the context of a separately specified country or territory.
