When calling emergency medical services, accurately describing your location can be difficult, especially in remote or unfamiliar areas. What3Words is an app that helps solve this problem by pinpointing your exact location using three unique words.
What3Words assigns three random words to a 3-meter by 3-meter square on the Earth's surface. By providing these words to emergency services, they can quickly and accurately find your location.
You can use the What3Words website (www.what3words.com) to find your current location or search for a specific address. The algorithm also includes error checking to ensure that slightly incorrect words still lead to the correct location.
By downloading the What3Words app on your smartphone, you can easily find your current location and store saved locations for future reference.
Around 80% of UK emergency services now use What3Words, along with roadside assistance services like the AA and various UK delivery companies.
What3Words is an innovative and effective way to pinpoint your exact location, no matter where you are in the world. Give it a try to ensure your safety during emergencies.
