what3words is an easy way to identify precise locations. Every 3m square has been given a unique combination of three words: a what3words address. Now you can find, share and navigate to precise locations using three simple words.

Use what3words to:
- Help emergency services know exactly where to find you
- Plan exact meet-up locations

- Navigate to any destination easily
- Save your favourite memorable spots – a viewpoint, waterfall or proposal location

what3words addresses are accepted by over 85% of UK emergency services as well as the AA, and many UK delivery companies. Businesses and hotels display what3words on their contact pages, and booking confirmations – anywhere you would normally find location information.

A good & simple way to address things

GPS co-ordinates and map grid references can be confusing and difficult to remember/transcribe at the best of times, and this is where what3words comes to the fore - it has a simple 3-word address for every 3m X 3m square on the earth’s surface.

3-word addresses will never replace GPS co-ordinates or map grid references - they are not designed to. But they are designed to provide a simple addressing system for places that can’t be easily addressed by existing systems, such as:

Where to meet your friends when going to a football match or picnic in the park,
Which track to turn at when walking or 4WDing in the bush,
Where emergency services can find you when you injure yourself on the beach.
You can also have fun with the app by setting up treasure hunts, car rallies, etc.

So easy

Type in business name or street
Unlike using a.G P S were accurate address is required which takes time but this is super quick as volunteer we use latitude and longtitude addresses to me will be more accurate especially searching open waters at night as long as we are given the correct set of digits

Developer Response ,

Best thing since sliced bread

So simple to use and SO many ways to use it. “Meet me here” means you can’t miss each other. Getting stuff delivered to EXACTLY where you need it and not the other side of the house (shifting a tonne of sand is no joke). I can’t wait for drone deliveries to the exact spot in the back yard (and not in the pool!). Simply the best thing ever.
