   good point... resembles a normal address compared with the alternatives at least. https://github.com/roberdam/Xaddress#compare-encodings

   Your Xaddress will work even if we remove the word from the available list, you can try encoding or decoding by hand to understand how it works https://github.com/roberdam/Xaddress/tree/master/by_hand

   Yes!, in this case "Nándorfejérvári út 4" can be "CRUEL RUN 4604 - Budapest, Hungary

   Thanks pingec, it seems to be something with the Google Api, I will check that, in the meanwhile you can try the CLI if you know ruby or try it by hand https://github.com/roberdam/Xaddress/tree/master/by_

   Thanks cgsmith, a pocket calculator will be great when decoding/encoding by hand. Im guessing that low tech phones (even old nokias) can do the trick by using it as calculator, but then that may not be as low tech as needed.

   Thanks, yes, I'm ashamed of my code, this is my first project in ruby , my last programming work was 15 years ago, (Foxpro for DOS) so this is my comeback to programming. I hope that being opensource will help it to improve.

   Mapcode is great, compact and precise. Xaddress looks more like a traditional address so it might be easier to fit in , also gives you a hint of where the address is located, and is clear how to encode and decode. But at the end of the day

    Greate idea!, Xaddress generate a short code, you can use all of them if you want to. https://cloud.githubusercontent.com/assets/3354868/17262858/...

    Thanks dalbin, short codes are resilient and independent from geopolitical addresses, both codes are created at the same time, for the sake of clarity is not show today in the Xaddress

    Thanks!, of course, you can encode/decode the Xaddress even by hand so it can be used in low tech environments, the guide is https://github.com/roberdam/Xaddress/tree/master/by_hand

    The original code was written in spanish (my native language) and I translated to english, let me know your particular problem with the code and I will change it.

    From the point of view of a programmer without much background in advanced maths, this is the best short intro to the subject I have found so far: https://medium.com/@ageitgey/machine-learning-is-fun-80ea3ec...
