Re:Why doesn't Costa Rica use real addresses? by spenczar5 on Thursday March 02, 2023 @02:07PM (#35000249)
The problem is not solved, that's a preposterous thing to say. The fact that unused systems exist doesn't mean there's a solution. Addressing here would only be "solved" if everyday people were using the system on the ground, and they're obviously not using Google Plus Codes or whatever when giving someone directions for how to walk to the bank.

The foundation exists, it is now merely a matter of using it. Your example is nonsense because it just as useless to a stranger as a plus code without a mapping tool. When giving someone directions for how to walk to the bank you don't refer to the address but waypoints. As you always would anyway, plus codes or not.
