what3words - a new way to communicate location
what3words is a geocoding system for the simple communication of precise locations. what3words encodes geographic co-ordinates into 3 dictionary words (for example, the Statue of Liberty is located at planet.inches.most). what3words is different from other alphanumeric location systems and GPS coordinates in that it displays 3 words rather than long strings of numbers or random letters or numbers. what3words has an iOS App, Android App, a website and an API that enables bi-directional conversion of what3words address and latitude/longitude co-ordinates.
