I like to set my location manually usually by copying my longitude and latitude from Google Maps but they no longer show you that they now show your plus code instead which is a good and easy and very accurate way to describe a location so I hope plus codes can be added to this extension for manual location selection I would appreciate it so much I can not live without this extension keep the good work <3

But hold on, Google Maps web app still shows coordinates and not that plus address. The problem with plus-addresses is that they are Google-specific; made by them. So it's going to be a huge waste of time to implement such a feature, especially that even the mobile app shows coordinates in its search bar WHEN it's cleared BEFORE holding a point on the map - which I thought wasn't working anymore for a second!

Here is the web app from a desktop browser:

Here is also the situation in the Android mobile app:

Would care explaining how "far off" or inaccurate are these coordinates with comparison to Google's plus-code addresses or whatever? @mohamed776k776

GNOME 47.4

I am sorry for being ignorant of the web app and I am sure that using coordinates can be infinitely more accurate I just think that plus codes are easier to use and accurate enough for the ease of use so I asked for it to be added as an option and I am just asking if it is a waste of time then it is a waste of time and that is fine I hope that clears everything and sorry again for any annoyance I might have caused
