But in what situation is this useful? How is it more convenient or useful than a regular address? Even if you’re somewhere where there are no addresses, and you need to describe a location that has no other descriptive characteristics, isn’t it a lot easier to just drop a pin/bookmark on the map in your smartphone? Especially considering you can’t reasonably run the algorithm without a digital device of some kind.
