By using the app. You can either enter the lat/long, if known or find the
location on the map in the app. The app then gives the 3 word code. Have a look
at the video on the "about"page of the web site, and the "examples" page on the
web site. Sorry, I am not an expert on this, having only first seen the web
site yesterday, but
I soon got the hang of it. Download the app and have a play with it, you will
soon get you head around it.
