That's an absolutely amazing concept @Bambino
Difficult to believe an app can pinpoint your exact location if you need help

The idea is ok but I'm not keen on the app to be honest. Now uninstalled.

Sounds outlandish, but obviously very useful in certain circumstances.
Google Maps has a similar thing built into it, but instead of words it uses a combination of letters and numbers with a town.
However with the size of the squares I can see why this allows emergency services (among others) to be more precise about where they are needed.
Wouldn't be surprised if this gets swallowed up by a navigation company at some point...

What 3 words describe the back door and front door of the house, I wonder?
Never used this app before, but it really should be possible to find out this info for static structures just using a Web browser and perhaps Google Maps... Back later.
Hours of post-pub fun, the website let's you search for 3-word sets to find where the location is...

A very interesting thing...
It's not common here. But some of our "call centers" (fire & EMS is in one together, police is extra) for FD and EMS has implemented to be able to get whatsapp locations tho. Very useful indeed. But as a ambulance you still have to search sometimes 🙈
