What three words

[Donnywolf]

Been hearing about this lately and its a belting idea

Every 3 metres x 3 metres of the entire Globe has been alloted a 3 word code and so if you are lost on a mountain or even in a City if you have the App you look where you are and put in the 3 word code.


Twitchers are already designating where they see rare birds and fisherman are identifying Pegs / spots the same way. It will have literally millions of uses

If you havent seen it yet we can have a bit of Rovers related fun if you like and I will start (I might be a sqaure out here though)

The emergency services have been using this for a while now for people who get into trouble and don't know where they are.

[dknward2]

It's a fantastic app recommend everyone to add it for a just in case time

[Donnywolf]

Yes - I will add it to my Apps as it looks very very useful

I have some bad navigators in my family so it will be invaluable to say meet me at "mini.wizard.ended" or "torn.claim.unfit" at 10 am lol

Rovers Club fact ? Amazing in middle of nowhere in Canada

[roversdude]

We use it at work on the railway it’s much better than ELR’s or postcodes for access points

[RobTheRover]

It's fine if 3m x 3m granularity is accurate enough. I've done GPS sub-metre surveying in a previous life, but W3W is definitely faster and easier to use than that.

[BillyStubbsTears]

Apparently bloody.shite.Bramhall takes you to a spot in the middle of the West Stand. Uncanny!

[Donnywolf]

Bill stubs posts finds a remote spot deep in Russia

Bill stubs fears gets a remote spot in Russia too

[BillyStubbsTears]

Very apt.

And Bill.stub.gear is up the Khyber Pass, which some may find even more appropriate.

[Donnywolf]

Its certainly funnier and would explain your Avatar lol

This one was close to being "good" https://what3words.com/campaigns.super.rovers

Please tell me that “Stock Hayter goal” takes you to a certain part of the pitch at Wembley.?

[Donnywolf]

Sorry it doesnt lol

In fact I cant even guess because the Map itself for Wembley Stadium shows it "set up" for some sort of Concert so there are no clues to go at

Glove.keep.forgot is still best I can do (from OP) though

is another iconic Rovers moment but may not be exactly right  !

[Superspy]

Great app. I've used it a couple of times to navigate to specific car parks for away games. Sunderland comes to mind.

We.woz.robbed ?
