I know the What3Words app is somewhat sneered at by traditional geo location users, but lately, I have seen more and more people using it.
The main attraction seems to be its level of accuracy over traditional postcode methods of sat nav destination setting and the simplicity of use.
I've started using it and TBH, I find it brilliant and you could teach a two year old to use it in ten seconds.
It's level of simplicity and novel approach to location naming, will take it into mainstream use.
It's one hell of a contrast to the days when I was was working for a utility in London trying to pinpoint my location on an OS map.
Sure, What3Words is an attempt to monetize mapping but isn't that exactly what Google did with Google Maps?
