What is a Plus Code?
A Plus Code (formally an Open Location Code) is a short, free alternative to a street address, built directly from a location's latitude and longitude. Google created the format and it works completely offline, with no accounts, API keys, or lookups required — anyone with the code (and roughly which city or area it's in) can paste it into Google Maps and get turned-by-turn directions to the exact spot. That makes it especially useful across India, where a huge number of shops, homes, and offices genuinely don't have a formal, unique door number or a street address a delivery rider or customer can reliably find.
Full code vs. short code
The full code (like 7J4VXHCV+JR) works
anywhere in the world on its own — paste it into Google Maps and it resolves
to one exact spot, no extra context needed. The short code
(like XHCV+JR) drops the leading four characters that encode
the broad 1-degree-by-1-degree region, so it only resolves correctly when
combined with a nearby city or area name (e.g. "XHCV+JR, Bengaluru") —
that's exactly how Google Maps itself displays short codes next to search
results. Use the full code when space isn't a concern; use the short code
plus your city name when you want something shorter to print or share.
How this tool gets your coordinates
Tap "Use my current location" and your browser will ask permission to share your GPS location — if you allow it, your Plus Code is generated immediately. If you deny permission, or your device doesn't support geolocation, just enter your latitude and longitude manually instead. Not sure how to find those? On Google Maps in a browser, right-click the exact spot and the coordinates appear as the very first item in the menu; on the mobile app, long-press to drop a pin and the coordinates show at the bottom of the screen.
Everything happens in your browser
The encoding math runs entirely client-side using Google's own official, open-source Open Location Code library — your coordinates are never sent to any server, logged, or stored anywhere. Once you have your Plus Code, add it to your Google Business Profile's address, your WhatsApp catalog, or any online listing so customers can find your exact location even without a conventional street address.
Frequently Asked Questions
A Plus Code is a free, short alternative to a street address, generated from GPS coordinates. It is especially useful for locations without a formal door number or findable street address — very common across India — since anyone can paste it into Google Maps for exact directions.
The full code works anywhere on its own. The short code drops the leading 4 characters and only resolves correctly when paired with a nearby city or area name, the same way Google Maps itself displays short codes.
Yes — if you deny geolocation access or your device does not support it, you can enter your latitude and longitude manually instead, with instructions for finding those coordinates in Google Maps.
No. The Plus Code is calculated entirely in your browser using Google's own open-source Open Location Code library. Your coordinates are never uploaded, logged, or stored.
Yes — add it to your address (a second address line works well) so customers without a clear street address to search for can still find your exact location on Google Maps.
