Google Maps Plus Codes work by converting location coordinates (latitude and longitude) to alphanumeric codes that use a standardized format. They use an alphanumeric grid (like a chess board with a grid of A - H and 1 - 8) to divide the world. That first grid forms the first 2 numbers of the code.
