About what3words
what3words divides the world into 3 metre squares and gives each one a unique combination of three words. That lets you share or find an exact spot without a street address.
The web map and the iOS and Android apps let you look up a three-word address, save locations, share them and hand off to navigation. It is used for deliveries, meeting points and emergencies. A paid Pro upgrade is offered alongside the free map.
