Description

### Your use case

OLC (also called Plus Codes) is a simple format that uses short character strings for geographic locations.
Unlike it's proprietary alternatives (e.g. what3words), it's free and open source.
Despite it was developed by Google, it doesn't depend on any of Google infrastructure, services or branding.
OsmAnd+, Maps.me, OrganicMaps and Google Maps also support it.
https://plus.codes

Element should support a setting to show the OLC code in the location tile in the timeline.
