We had a presentation on this at work today, and I was immediately struck by how much time could be saved in an emergency.
What 3 Words divides the whole surface of the world into 3m x 3m squares, fifty-seven trillion of them! And each of those squares is given three words to work as an address.
So for example, instead of 'I'm somewhere near Atherstone, on the B4116. I think I went through Bentley last, about a mile back maybe?' you switch on location on your phone, open the app, press Locate, and it gives you the three word address - sometimes.parade.button and your location can be pinpointed to that 3m x 3m square.
You can do it in a browser, www.what3words.com or there's an app for iOS and Android.
Does anyone else use it?
