A London startup called What3words has solved one of the biggest issues with location, that of memorability and meaningful locations.

To do this, they found that the world could be divided into 3 metre by 3 metre squares and then referred to by 3 simple words (out of a list of 40 thousand), this has been useful compared to trying to precisely work out co-ordinates when you are in rural areas.

Already the What3words app has saved dozens of lost rural walkers in the UK, and helped with precise mail deliveries in Africa, as well as ensuring that people can find precisely where to go when reception is spotty or battery life is short.

For example, our wellington meeting room is located at brains.slowly.vibes and our kapiti meeting room is located at relatives.binds.reminders

It is as simple as loading that address into the What3words app, and it will bring it up on the map, and it is far easier than numerical co-ordinates.

I highly recommend that you check out the what3words.com website or the mobile app, and you may find it interesting to check your address for interesting what3words addresses.
