What is what3words?
Updated over a week ago

Most map markers in DECKEE have a three word address displayed on them. This is the What3Words address of that marker.

What3Words is a proprietary geocoding system that divides the world into 3 metre squares and gives each square a unique combination of three words. It's an easy way to find and share exact locations, and has been successfully used in many emergency situations.

If you need to share your current location in an emergency situation, you can communicate these three words clearly to the emergency services to guide them to your location. It can be hard to stay calm and read out long lat/lon coordinates over the phone. With what3words, you won’t have to worry about it anymore.
