Adresse224 Wants to Give Every Guinean Building a Front Door Address
A Guinean digital-addressing project assigns each building a unique geolocated code, then marks it with a physical plaque.
Field notes
Adresse224 describes a field-to-database workflow: an agent records GPS position, a photograph, and a local landmark, then a generated code is printed with a QR code on a facade plaque. The page gives CKY-KAL-0472 in Kaloum, Conakry, as a sample identifier and says the plaque remains usable without a smartphone. It also describes a public API that would translate codes into coordinates for deliveries, banks, insurers, emergency services, cadastre, and urban planning, though no endpoint or coverage figures are shown.
