Description
Been using what3words: Navigation & Maps for a couple months now. It’s basically an app that lets you find and share precise locations using a unique 3-word address for every 10ft square. Pretty solid app if you’re into navigation and maps.
Here’s what you do: you can search for places, save your favorite spots, and get directions to specific locations – even in places with inaccurate addresses. And there’s also a feature to share your location with others, which is pretty cool. And you can use it to get emergency services to your exact spot – took me a while to figure that out but it’s useful.
Look, if you’re into navigation apps or need to find precise locations, you’ll probably like this. It’s not perfect – the app can be a bit buggy sometimes – but overall it does the job. Worth checking out.
Editor Opinion
So here's my honest take on what3words: Navigation & Maps. I've tested a bunch of navigation apps and this one's pretty solid. The 3-word location system is clever and makes it easy to share and find specific spots. The features are useful, like saving your favorite places or sharing your location. But it's not without its issues - I've found the app can be a bit glitchy at times. Overall though, if you need a reliable way to navigate to precise locations, what3words is definitely worth a look.

Quite often it gives me completely made up words when I use it in language different from English. And in English there's a different location with a word with one...
Just testing it out. Looks like a very useful idea especially in large parks or in forests or when going hiking or camping etc.
