kepler.gl VS Plus Codes by Google

The line visuals at the bottom are not using Mapbox. Rather they're using the open source Kepler.gl [0], (a user-friendly wrapping of the deck.gl library [1]). These can use Mapbox for the underlying basemap, but the data rendering is done separately. (This is easy to tell if you look at the page source. The map at the bottom is an embed from a static HTML kepler.gl map [2]) [0]: https://kepler.gl/ [1]:... - Source: Hacker News / about 1 year ago

Whatever code I put in, it simply tells me afterwards "please enter an address or a plus code". That website seems to give me either a shorter or a longer plus code.
