There are features of the plus codes that make it easier than you think to memorize and communicate them, however: - Similar to a phone number, the code can be reduced to the last 4 or 6 digits in practice, because the "area code" (in this case, "8GC2") selects a large region (approximately the size of a metropolitan area) and thus can be omitted if referring to destinations in your local area. - The letters are selected to be minimally confusable with each other, so you don't need to use the NATO alphabet.
