What3words

Post by ZebedeeDoleDole »

If you use what3words app, type in fratton Park, zoom in, and you'll find 3 word addresses for each small area of pitch. (3 sq metres, I think.) I'll start with ///asserts.scan.brave.
Type this to find it, then return an adjoining square's address- see where we can take it!

I recently deleted WTW app because I've had it for 2 years, never used it and don't know anybody else that uses it (well I do now!!) :wink:

What three words gets quite a lot of use in the emergency services, and I've even seen it on council website for reporting of things like fly tipping at potholes. Let's the citizen report the incident by w3w and then converts it to eastings and northings.

I love w3w. I used it to find someone in trafalgar square one Christmas. The place was heaving and found the other person no problem. Our house is also a bit hidden, neither Google nor waze finds us without using w3w as a destination.
Like many, trust few and always paddle you own canoe.
