And what three words if you have that app. Emergency services in the U.K. use that now as may other countries .When posting in the SOS section, it may be beneficial to put in your location 'lat and long' to help with assistance.
Although you still need to know where you are - via a map or app.Three words tell you nothing without the app. There are not even language neutral.
Lat/Lon has worked for centuries. Without any app, in any language - even Kiswahili.
Providing you have some power to your grenadier screen, doesn't this give you lat and long? This negates the need for any app.When posting in the SOS section, it may be beneficial to put in your location 'lat and long' to help with assistance.
And a map, as you say, will suffice. And any navigation device or the Grenadiers offroad screen will suffice. But nobody will need an appAlthough you still need to know where you are - via a map or app.![]()
But @emax there are many people who don’t have a map, and fewer unfortunately that know how to use them.And a map, as you say, will suffice. And any navigation device or the Grenadiers offroad screen will suffice. But nobody will need an appto understand where I am.
This three words thing is the most stupid thing ever I've seen: A marketing gag with zero added value.
there is also value jn how easy the three words are to communicate, with minimal misunderstanding. There is lots of potential for transcription errors in long strings of digits, especially with people who are unfamiliar or stressed.And a map, as you say, will suffice.

The issue with 3Words is mis spelling (at the receiving end) and mis pronunciation ( at the delivery end) in a panic situation. Especially with different dialects/accents with verbal communication.there is also value jn how easy the three words are to communicate, with minimal misunderstanding.

for some, lat and long will always be enough, but 3 words is elegant, simple and clever. As well as solving India’s postal problem.
Agree. Value in 3words is in addition to others, helps error correct.The issue with 3Words is mis spelling (at the receiving end) and mis pronunciation ( at the delivery end) in a panic situation. Especially with different dialects/accents with verbal communication.
The safest way is to give all 3,
3words, lat and long, and map reference. You shouldn't be going off the beaten track if you can't provide this information
Somebody who wants to use the w3w app willl need a mobile phone. And then he has a map (e.g. google maps) as well. The least he would have are the coordinates of the mobile GPS.But @emax there are many people who don’t have a map
No only degrees and altitude (if you mean the round one which comes as an extra instead of the Ineos logo)Does the compass in the dashboard have the lat and long?
Just FYI:No only degrees and altitude (if you mean the round one which comes as an extra instead of the Ineos logo)
