Many UK national and international emergency services are using what3words : Police, Fire and Rescue, Ambulance, Coast Guard, Mountain Search and Rescue.

When it is difficult to describe where you are in an emergency, you only need to read 3 words for the 999 emergency service to know exactly where to find you or the incident.

what3words has divided the globe into 3m squares and given each a unique 3 word address.

The addresses are accurate to 3m x 3m, easier to say over the phone or radio than GPS coordinates.

Its is easy to share a what3words address with 1 click into a messaging app or say over the phone to a call handler.

When the emergency service receive the what3words from a caller, the emergency service responders can route to the exact location where help is needed.

What3words works offline; ideal for areas which have unreliable data connection.

Without phone signal, the app functions the same as when you have no data connection: you can still view the location of any what3words address you enter. You can also navigate to it using compass mode.

To share a what3words address over the phone or in a text message you need phone signal. To load maps, or share in other apps or social media, you need a data connection.
