Exploring #plusCode to encode geographical locations, but in an easier and more memorable fashion than #GPS lat/long numbers!

The article shows a #groovylang script to play with the Open Location Code #java library.

People who want to use exact #georeferencing in a posting should have a way to do so, for example for offline events or to describe #geospatial (or #marsian) features.

I take it for granted that users must be able to decide upon the precision of the #geocoding they use for their postings.
And that they must also be able to decide upon the geogaphic range of search when they lookup #georef|erenced postings.

The location property of the #ActivityVocabulary does not only support exact locations but also areas in the sense that it allows for ›logical locations‹.
A logical location could be ›near Berlin«, but also a #geocode with reduced precision.

Relax, no one is seeking to re-invent any wheel.
This thread is more about usability than it is about implementation.
No one can make use of #semantic properties in a vocabulary as long as they do not show up in frontends.
So, rather than deter consideration, let's keep the dialogue going.

Have a look at my use of #geocoding hashtags:
→ https://mastodon.social/@jpreisendoerfer/109727868336726649
I think it'd be better to prefix the respective #geocode with an abbreviation indicating its type.
#HamRadio people will often want to use #Maidenhead (#QTH) locators rather than #OpenLocationCode (#PlusCode).
Plus char can be dropped from OLC, because ›OLC‹ indicates #PlusCode.
For reduced precision, drop trailing OLC letters.

Show off your favorite locations via @locationlabels !
Already start following the group to keep in touch, expect a more complete writeup #soon!
The idea is to set up a community that popularizes the idea of tagging location related things with #LocationLabels (#geo + the first 6 digits of your #PlusCode #OLC, tool available at https://whenwhere.cf) so you can start following labels around you and discover new things, activities and friends, and figure out things to do and people to meet when you go to new places!
For the planned writeup, please send your questions about this my way and invite people to join the community!

CW: ActivityPub Application Musing
Wondering if there's any potential for overlap between Open Location Codes (Plus codes) and ActivityPub. Plus codes allow you to do a pretty simple "onion peel" search for things progressively further out from a specific location, and I wonder how that could be used with a federated service.

Some time ago I tried fixing a problem the hard way and found a much easier way to do the same thing.
We are living in a world where we talk more with people on the other side of the world than people nearby.
Yet we are rightfully worried about things that give away where we are. We cannot really engage with social media that will dox us.
So I was playing around with #PlusCodes. They have this funny property that they are layered: every two digits you get a level deeper, and you can cut off the first part to have a shorter code that still tells a place in your neighborhood.
OR you cut of the last part to describe a bigger #region.
I found out that if you cut it to six digits, you get a region that is about the size of a village or a city neighborhood that is #walkable, without giving any data that actually doxes you.
I implemented this on https://whenwhere.cf (the big code at the top is your actual exact location in #PlusCode format, be careful about giving that to other people! the thing you need is the #geo something tag)
You can use this hashtag to talk about rough locations, and because it's just a hashtag, you don't need complicated stuff to figure out if stuff happens nearby to you. Also you can easily figure out the #hashtags of #neighborhoods around it.
We can probably use this together with a.gup.pe groups to do things like comment about nice nature, set up local trades and similar stuff that needs #location awareness.
Can you help me give this system a nice and memorable name, and spread awareness and usage?
We can probably add four digit or even two digit code tags for the early days to make it easier to find people in a much wider region...
And if someone is around #geo8ccgqv #geo8ccg #geo8c #lisbon, maybe we should meet up! (I recommend to add name based tags to increase reach for people who look for places by name of course)

I like to add Location information to my #photography posts - but I wonder what is the preferred system:
1. #Pluscode (Google but Open source)
2. #What3words (Proprietary but free for personal use)
3. Lat.&Long. (Complex and long - Poss.Transcription errors)
4. (Vague) Description of location. -
