How to use What3Words

It’s simple — all you need to do is download the app and type in an address, either a current location or somewhere you’re travelling to.

The app will then give you a three-word address you can share with your friends or the emergency services.

And it works pretty much everywhere – from the centre of London to the middle of the Pacific Ocean, you’ll be given three randomly assigned words to use instead of an address.

It is compatible with other apps such as Google Maps, Apple Maps and Waze (you can just simply enter the code into the other apps’ search bar). It is also voice-activated.
