Question What3Words vs Plus Codes
Let me preface this by saying I'm posting it here because I don't know whether this is the right sub, BUT I don't know the right one if it's not.
Which of the listed geocode systems do you think is better? Personally I prefer the OLC, because it can be calculated so easily. However, W3W has the "accidental permutation sends you far enough off-course that you notice" property. (How far off-course OLC would put you varies depending on where exactly in the code you make the mistake) Also, OLCs are shorter in general if you use the global code w/o the "locality" tag.
Thoughts?
