Similar precision can be achieved by using GPS coordinates with four (10 m accuracy) to five (1 m) decimal digits, sometimes even fewer depending on location as you don't need trailing zeroes.
The coordinate system is old, ubiquitous, and it's readability is similar to that of ipv4 addresses.
So it's [13.054:5.237] vs "surcharge.caveman.echo".
