- what3words locations explained
Postal codes are not accurate enough to specify precise locations, especially in less densely populated areas. what3words uses combinations of three simple words to uniquely specify a 3-metre (10-foot) square anywhere in the world.
For example, Waverley sails from Tower Millennium Pier on the River Thames with a what3words location of privately.jolly.crew.
