Are you GPS challenged? Do the GPS numbers we use cause you a headache?
Help maybe on its way. A UK based startup has proposed a new method for determining a location using three words.
For example a location we all know well is grudging.dunked.falcon.
Have a look: http://w3w.co/grudging.dunked.falcon
What they have done is to divide the world's surface into 3 meter squares and each square has a unique three word sequence.
Of course there is an App to go with it. Far easy to say three words than loads of numbers...
I will keep you posted.

Re: What3Words
Thank Dave,
Interesting concept - have signed up to check it out although not certain it is a much easier concept than the coordinates.
Cheers
Allan

Alan,
It will never replace numerical co-ordinates, but what a great idea for delivering a parcel to a remote part of africa.
