  • 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. Clicking or tapping on a what3words link will open your web browser and display the precise location on a map.
