Open Location Codes in R

An R implementation of the Google Open Location Codes standard.

Author: Oliver Keyes License: MIT Status: Stable

The Google Open Location Code standard allows you to encode the latitude and longitude of an area into a compressed string, resolving it down to a 14 square meter box. olctools provides a fast, vectorised R implementation of this standard that you can use to encode, decode, shorten, expand or validate OLCs.
