Well, I have to switch from Google Maps to OSM every time I want a GPS coordinate. So yes, they are not used, but not because they are difficult to use per se, but because Google is pushing their own agenda on PlusCodes and passive-aggressively discourage GPS coordinates.
- kingnothing 6y agoWhat do you mean by this? You can click anywhere on Google Maps to see the lat long coordinates, and you can also enter a lat long pair in the search box to go to that location.
- anticristi 6y agoOkey, so how can I find the GPS coordinates of the Vasa Museum using Google Maps. The plus code can be found as simply as scrolling down.
