What Makes What3words Better Than Google Maps
  • We all have found difficulty in locating someone
    through google maps. The reason behind it was the
    accuracy level of Google maps is not up to the
    mark, but in the world of technological
    developments, there is always a better technology
    that is developed to eradicate the problems of
    the world.https//a6norton.wordpress.com/2021/06

Maker of this amazing app and the idea
  • Chris Sheldrick is the creator of this famous
    app, who resides in the UK. Chris came up with
    the idea when he was fed up with the wrong
    location. If you live in a village and dont have
    a location name, you cant get your products
    delivered. But if you share a 3-word code with
    anyone, that person will reach you without any
    name. This idea further generated and what3words
    originated.
  • If you want to use this app, you can download it
    for free from the Google Play Store or the Apple
    App Store. Once the app is installed, you can
    generate a three-word code by entering your
    current location, your office, and your home
    address in the search bar and then share it with
    anyone at any time of need. Any user who clicks
    on that code will then directly show the option
    of Google Maps, City Mapper, or Wedge. In this
    case, it will reach you without any difficulty
    with the help of any map tracking app. You can
    also use the voice feature in the app and choose
    the language you want.https//a6norton.wordpress

Why what3words is the talk of the town?
  • The most important purpose of this app is that if
    youre trapped somewhere, and you need help or
    want to meet someone on the beach or park, it
    will generate the perfect 3-word code for your
    friend or relative so that anyone will reach
    exactly where youre waiting for it. Those who
    get your location can exactly reach your
    location.
  • To use this app, you just have to simply enter a
    place name or street address in the search bar
    and select the correct result, now switch to the
    satellite mode and zoom in up to the extent when
    you are able to see the grid, then tap on a
    square to view its what3word address.https//a6n

Useful yet controversial
  • There are many controversies about the app now.
    Many emergency services use this app. People
    found that the app has the same code for many
    three words combinations which creates a problem
    to locate someone during help. That is, if they
    have to reach the X location, they have many
    similar locations associated with X so that they
    do not reach the right location and help people.
    On this, Chris Sheldrick, head of the company,
    said that the surrounding words might be the
    same, which can cause confusion, but this happens
    very rarely.https//a6norton.wordpress.com/2021/
