Scott, Seth, others who may be interested,
I worked up a demo spreadsheet that shows how you can label anything
with a simple *12 character code* (for instance hydrants, or even
mail/packages) and have that code encapsulate 6 decimal accuracy geo
coding (about 1 meter accuracy). The code is designed to be compact and
easy to speak. Case is not important and the letters O, I, L, and Z are
not used because of frequent confusion with numbers (0,1,2).
The spreadsheet both encodes and decodes. Unambiguous, universal format
works worldwide down to a meter.
You can get the file named *encodelatlon.xls* from this directory:

There are no macros (or VBA code) in the spreadsheet but you will likely
have to "allow editing" if you want to play around with it.
