Title: What3words
Post by: Dave on October 29, 2017, 12:34:25 PM
"What3words" is a global addressing system where every 3 metre square on Earth has a three word address. The unique one for my home addess is:
nurse funny dream
(yeah, had a few of those!)

Type your address into the box. It works even in the middle of the Himalayas or Antarctica it seems, so long as you can obtain a signal and have the app or access to the Internet you can find yourself on a map, and so can others, anywhere in the world.

Search on "What3words map" for a quick look.

WARNING publishing your three word address means others can find your location if not your actual house number or name!

Reckon Triangle Fine.  I'll be expecting the ax murderer any day.  Perhaps I should make a cake.

How I loved the Kids in the Hall.  But I remember, when I first got online, everyone would say that if you put any kind of information about yourself on the web, even your nickname, the first thing you knew there'd be an ax murderer at your door to do you in.
