This One Thing... What3words

The latest app to revolutionise our lives? What3words. Dividing the world (yes, the whole world) into three-metre squares and giving each square a unique three-word ‘address’, this innovative app is the easiest way to find and share exact locations. No more traipsing around festivals looking for the umpteenth food truck as a meeting spot, just share your three words and your friends can find you. Functional day-to-day for deliveries or if your car breaks down, and potentially lifesaving in an emergency, say, if you have an accident on a country walk, we don’t know how we managed without it.
