Google Plus code and what3words are geo addressing systems which provide a precise location address (upto 3 sq.m.) of any place on earth. These are used to address location which don’t have well known postal address. And these systems provide memorable codes for humans for sharing.
Right now I am using plus codes where I need them. Now I’d rather find FLOSS alternative coz google is known for killing projects that don’t get popular but are still useful for some users.

Alright. I didn’t see any obvious GitHub link in plus code page. And whatfreewords! I couldn’t have guessed it. Thanks for sharing.
Now, I have to see if these can be implemented with open street maps.
Till then I’ll continue with pluscodes.
