G'day all

I just heard about this new app called what3words that divides the globe up 
into 57 trillion 3m x 3m squares and converts the lat and long to a unique 3 
word code.

It was designed for the huge proportion of the world's population without any 
address system.

My home address is labs.assemble.rollers

So all I need to do is tell you that and you can navigate to my door.  Not 
particularly useful given I have a proper address but brilliant for third world 
countries and I reckon it would be good for birding.

Check it out and share your thoughts.
iOS and Android

Cheers
