The use of "Plus.Codes" is presented in an earlier blog post. The next step in the process is to integrate free data from the Hauziz website (www.hauziz.com). This added website shows the site numbers for the adjoining properties and an outline of the building associated with the situs. Handy stuff to provide a double check on the map search.
At the east end of Teft Road at the intersection of Teft and Dana-Foothill Road in the rural area east of Highway 101 near the community of Nipomo, there are prominent site improvement features at 136 Dana-Foothill Road, Nipomo, CA.
Inserting the site address into the search window on Plus.Codes.com, the map zooms to a parcel with four white round features that, in fact, water storage tanks. Clicking on the most northeasterly tank at the rear of the property, the Plus.Codes data is 847X3G4R+PMX and has a street address of 136 Dana-Foothill Road, Nipomo, CA 93444. Notice there are three characters following the plus symbol.
The initial data places a square on the property line on the county road at 847X3G4R+FF. Moving the mouse and clicking on each tank, the location data can be refined. After identifying the property, the next step is to zoom in and to the maximum magnification. At that point, three characters are revealed after the plus symbol, e.g., 847X3G4R+PMX.
Going to www.hauziz.com, the input of the site address of 136 Dana-Foothill Road also reveals the street address and the neighboring house numbers are also revealed.
For professionals working in the arena of real property management and valuation, these two online tools are useful and, more importantly, "free."
Remember, just being close (about 25-miles) will put a pin on the same place using Plus.Codes. For example, try 3G4R+FF Orcutt, CA or 3G4R+FF Oceano, CA will both put the pin on the same spot. In fact, appraisers from Los Angeles, Fresno, or Bakersfield could find the way to this location and still have time to drop into Jocko's for a BBQ steak sandwich.
Ciao...or is it chow?

Southern Gateway to the San Joaquin Valley
The southern gateway to the San Joaquin Valley is developed on part of the historic Tejon Ranch and is located south of Bakersfield, California.
Using the free map tool developed by Google, the site can be located by starting at the following website: plus.codes . Part down the introductory page, there is a space a location to be searched. For example, type the following examples into the "search for" space: X3P4+6Q Wheeler Ridge, CA or type X3P4+6Q Bakersfield, CA. The precise location can also be found using the full alphanumeric address of the plus.codes nomenclature: 8563X3P4+6Q.
As an example for this posting, the address from the digital map pin is at 5701 Outlets at Tejon Pkway, Arvin, CA 93203. The slick feature is that a city within about 25 miles and the code couplet consisting of four characters plus two characters will land on the same spot. In the example above, X3P4 is the first part, the symbol for the plus sign "+" and followed by 6Q, the trailing two digits. The other necessary data bit for location is more flexible and can be a nearby town. In this example, the town reference can be Bakersfield, Arvin, Wheeler Ridge, Frazier Park or the 93203 zip code.
The initial search places a transparent colored square on the result and has code window along the bottom of the screen window. Click on the "up" caret (Λ) on the left side of window, and a more detailed sidebar window appears showing the full eight-plus-two location, the latitude and longitude, and the postal street address. In the sidebar window, there are three horizontal bars in the upper left that contain another opportunity to expand the detail: the satellite or street map and a grid overlay that corresponds to the alphanumeric location code.
The plus.codes map tool is useful for confirming street addresses, locating nearby address, and verifying which sides of the street for a building location. The system is constructed around a grid square and is more orderly and easier to write than a lengthy series of numbers associated with the latitude and longitude in the geographic coordinate system.
Now, that is my opinion and your mileage may vary. Ciao!
