About this app

Developer Description

Find any exact location with a what3words address - for easy navigation and more

what3words is an easy way to identify precise locations. Every 10ft square has been given a unique combination of three words: a what3words address. Now you can find, share and navigate to precise locations using three simple words.

Easy navigation, simple deliveries and more
Use what3words to:
- Help emergency services know exactly where to find you - especially in hard to describe locations or places with inaccurate addresses
- Plan exact meet-up locations, simplifying navigation for you and others
- Give car breakdown services your precise location
- Navigate to any destination easily
- Save your favorite memorable spots so you know how to navigate back to them - a viewpoint, waterfall or proposal location
- Save key locations, from incident reporting to delivery entrances
- Help people find your business or Airbnb - perfect for travelers tired of relying on inaccurate street addresses
- Help people navigate to accessible entrances

Help others find and navigate to you
what3words addresses are accepted by over 4,800 9-1-1 Emergency Communications Centers from across the United States, helping first responders locate and navigate to you easily and quickly. Businesses and hotels display what3words on their contact pages and booking confirmations - anywhere you would normally find location information: on maps, in guidebooks and more.

More accurate than street addresses, simpler than GPS coordinates
Street addresses and postcodes aren’t accurate enough to specify exact locations - for navigation, deliveries and more. what3words is a more precise way to do so - and it’s also a more accessible way to communicate location information than latitude/longitude coordinates or GPS - in short, it’s a simple ‘geocode’.

Navigate adventures, big and small
Offline navigation and compatibility with your favorite map apps - like Google Maps, Apple Maps and more - make what3words the perfect tool for daily trips and bigger adventures.
- Walking somewhere unfamiliar? Use what3words to navigate to your precise destination stress-free
- Find the perfect camping spot - and remember how to find it later - by saving the what3words location
- Meetups made simple: help others find hiking trailheads, shop car parks, precise entrances and more by sharing the what3words location
- Navigation couldn’t be easier with the what3words Compass, which guides you straight to where you need to be

used as a safeguard when running off-road to ensure that, if the worst happens, I can get a very precise location out for help. also used it for treasure hunts and general navigation. if I had one quibble, it is that I can set a target location look at my route and my blue dot approaching the target spot... but if I accidentally do a one finger touch while doing a 2 finger zoom gesture, my target square moves... a "did you mean this" check before moving the target!

I really like this app and use it to send destinations to my navigation apps. It has a big issue though that hasn't been fixed in a long time. When you search for a business by name, it doesn't show the results nearest to my current location. It shows random results for that business name that are hundreds and sometimes thousands of miles (in other countries) away. I have to add my current city to the search field before it finds the same business name nearest to me.

City good, country not so good. Taking it doesn't use GPS but instead locating me via multiple phone towers, this works ok in the city where lots of options are great. Head out to the bush where it's more important to have this app and it's a long way off. I spoke to the fire department, they do not trust it and it's why I guess it's not become the norm. They'd rather actual coordinates from the emergency app. I think what3words started off great but without government uptake it's left it sad.

Potentially a life saver! Now bogged down with a tsunami of ads for the Pro version! NO THANKS!

After the last update(latest version), it is not possible to paste and type at "Add label" on mobile. The line window is covered and moves up. It is also very difficult to use the search by the first letters of the entry. Only a few search lines appear. It would be good if this could be fixed.
