I think an address is much easier to understand for a child.
Using an uncommon for most people method of location identifier brings problems of its own. Sure Lat/Long is familiar to us, but I’d guess the average person is unfamiliar.
Like I said, I like the idea but it doesn’t come without its own problems and addresses aren’t as useless in this scenario as implied.
- grogenaut 5y agoyour assuming they dont have both. people dont memorize their gps coords and theyre not easily findable with a phone. redundancy, defense in depth.
- dredmorbius 5y agoFair points. I'd still register GPS as more generally useful and usable.
