A new way to navigate

Post by rlkat »

This is genius:

www.what3words.com

Meeting a mate on a wild camping trip? Locate it down to the actual 3 square meters anywhere in the world with just three words.

Ps. I have no connection with them, I just think it's brilliant.
I've no idea how to add a signature.

That is really good, would solve the innumerable problems I have with the piss-poor Amazon logistics.

Thanks for sharing.

Well I've googled all the 3word locations mentioned in this post and not one comes up with where you are?
How do you use that information to find a location?

I could give you my 3 word location of my house but everybody would come round and eat my curry I'm about to make!
The concept is much easier than giving out a multi digit GPS location.
