THE APP THAT CAN SAVE YOUR LIFE
What3words is a geocode system for the communication of locations with a resolution of three metres. What3words encodes geographic coordinates into three dictionary words; the encoding is permanently fixed. For example, the omphalos of Delphi, believed by the ancient Greeks to be the centre of the world, is located at “spooky.solemn.huggers”. What3words differs from most other location encoding systems in that it displays three words rather than long strings of numbers or letters.
