Does anyone use or see the need to use what3words geolocation system.
The concept is to divide the surface of the globe into 3x3m squares and assign a three word name to each square.
The words are chosen from a big list and assigned in a quasi random fashion, taking into the account similar sounding words etc. Different languages have different lists that do not translate.
The problems are neatly sumerised here
I put this in touring since you guys are more navigation minded but willing to move to a more appropriate area to expand the discussion.
Yay or nay?
