And they will not start putting up signs of the Plus-Codes outside their 
house unless the OpenStreetMap community accept this technology. This 
was a minor experimental import for a small remote town Zeze in the 
United Republic of Tanzania. Nothing happened. It is not an issue. Zeze 
is well mapped at OpenStreetMap, but it is not present at the Google Maps.

If the OSM community accepts the OpenLocationCode, then it would become 
de facto universal addressing system. Only then people may start 
believing and investing in it.

Best regards,

Oleksiy
