What3Words
If you have an internet enabled mobile phone or smartphone then this is worth considering installing.
No one wants to have an accident or issue when out walking, but unfortunately for some it will always prove to be unavoidable. what3words is a location system that divides the entire world into 3 m × 3 m squares and gives each square a unique combination of three words (like filled.count.soap).
Why is What3Words useful?
🚑 Used by all emergency responders, and navigation apps
📍 Precise locations without long GPS coordinates
🗺️ Works well where addresses don’t (parks, beaches, rural areas)
🧭 Easy to share and remember
Each combinaton of 3 words points to exact spot on Earth.
The example above of filled.count.soap is the co-ordinates for the entrance of 10 Downing Street in London
Hopefully you will never need it, but in our opinion it is worth having ‘just in case’. Any time it helps the emergency services save if you run in to difficulty could make a massive difference.
