Support for Google Maps Plus Codes

[Hund]

Hi!

It would be nice if there was support for Google Maps Plus Codes. I prefer to use Organic Maps, while my partner uses Google Maps. And since OpenStreetMaps is basically empty, I can never search for places we're going to visit. A good workaround would be if she could share the exact location with a Plus Code instead. :)

I know that this is supported by some other client, but I can remember which one though.

Good idea. Is there any open source C++ library for it?

If it's of any help, this is the client that I was talking about.

I included a screenshot with a search using a Plus Code.

Google released open source libraries for the plus codes.
This one is their c++ library: https://github.com/google/open-location-code/tree/main/cpp
It is released under the Apache License 2.0, same as organic maps, so this should fit.

I never used the library, but it is what I found when searching for one :D

We're already using it, see 3party dir. Maybe it should be updated though.

[Mr-Mime]

Oh never mind.
Just discovered organics maps a few days ago and checked some issues / discussions today and came across this one.
For me it seemed like "still open"

Anyways nice app and thanks for the work, happy to use it on a daily base :)

It is still open, the code doesn't support yet full codes (with cities).
