Overview

what3words is the simplest way to talk about location. It has divided the world into 3m x 3m squares, each with a unique 3 word address.

Now people can refer to any precise location – a delivery entrance, a picnic spot or a drone landing point – using three simple words.

what3words is used by businesses and governments to operate more efficiently, and by individuals to find and share places. It is integrated into car navigation systems, can be used to deliver post in 9 countries to date, and is used by NGOs and disaster response teams to save lives.
