Description

What3words is a location-based service that divides the world into 3m x 3m squares, each with a unique three-word address. It makes finding any location in the world quicker and easier, regardless of whether it has an existing street address. It is particularly useful for those travelling to remote locations, as it can help them find their exact destination without having to rely on traditional street addresses. The app uses a proprietary algorithm to generate three words for every square, which can then be shared with friends and family for easy navigation. It also offers a range of features, such as offline maps, navigation tools, and language options. What3words is free to download and use, and is available on both iOS and Android devices.
