[OSM-talk] Is it technically and legally possible to add the Open Location Code to the OSM search?

[Andrew Errington]

I tag survey points with latitude and longitude (taken from the plaque on
the survey marker). Then it is possible to see if they have been moved
accidentally, and for users to check that they are actually in the surveyed
location.
