Google is introducing a new feature called the Plus Codes, which would allow users to share their location. The Plus Codes are an alphanumeric version of your address. the feature is currently available for Android users and to get the feature, users are required to download the latest version of the Google Maps from Play Store.
Google makes it easier for people to share addresses on Google Maps, even when you don’t have the address. Imagine getting stuck at a location you know nothing about, well the plus codes will now help you share your location. In other words, the Plus Codes are an alphanumeric version of your address.
With Plus Codes, users are not required to reveal their complete address, they can simply share the unique codes with either their delivery boy or their cab drivers. People who are familiar with Google Maps can tap on the blue dot that shows their current location. To get the Plus Code of your location simply tap on the blue doth that denotes your address. Once you get the code, you can share it with anybody just like you share other stuff such as pictures or phone numbers. You can either search the code on Google Maps or Google Search it to reach the location, without having to type out the entire address, you can also find the Plus Code for a location by tapping and holding the map to drop a pin at a location you want a Plus Code.
The feature is currently available for Android users and to get the feature, users are required to download the latest version of the Google Maps from Play Store

They will be subject to regulatory sanctions if they do not meet the deadline – by June 2019. The Bleeping Computer obtained a copy of the notification sent by the RBI. Banks will have to implement some security measures before replacing Windows XP with another newer system. In the first phase, which lasts until August 2018, banks should implement password in the BIOS of ATMs; disable USB ports; apply the latest security patches, and limit the access time of administrators.
