What is what3words?

what3words is a simple yet revolutionary way to pinpoint and share precise locations. We divided the entire world into 3-metre squares and assigned each square a unique combination of three words. It’s the easiest way to talk about location.

Why what3words?

Traditional street addresses often fall short when it comes to identifying specific locations, like building entrances, or places without addresses, such as parks and remote areas. This can cause confusion, make it harder to meet up, and even delay emergency responses.

what3words was created to solve these problems, offering a straightforward and reliable solution for sharing exact locations anywhere in the world.

Used by millions

Every day, millions of people rely on what3words to make life simpler, safer, and more efficient.

Transforming businesses

Thousands of businesses across industries – from e-commerce and logistics to travel, ride-hailing, and navigation – use what3words to enhance efficiency and improve customer experiences.

Shaping the future

what3words provides the precision and simplicity needed for cutting-edge technologies like drones, voice-controlled devices, and autonomous vehicles.

Supporting life-saving efforts

Emergency services and humanitarian organisations around the world depend on what3words to locate and assist people quickly in times of need.

How is what3words different?

– Accuracy: Each 3-word address corresponds to a fixed 3m x 3m square, ensuring pinpoint precision. These addresses remain unchanged, even if buildings or streets are redeveloped.
– Uniqueness: Unlike street names, which are often duplicated, 3-word addresses are always unique, making them easier to share and understand.
– Ease of use: The system is optimised for voice commands, making it perfect for voice-enabled technology.
– Cost-efficient: Every 3-word address has already been pre-assigned, eliminating the need for costly setup or infrastructure.
– Human-friendly: Features like AutoSuggest help users find and share locations effortlessly, making it a practical and intuitive solution.

Can I use what3words with Google Maps?

Yes! On your smartphone, open the free what3words app, enter the 3-word address, tap ‘Navigate’, and select ‘Google Maps’ to view the location.
