We are on a mission to make the world a more efficient, less frustrating, and safer place.
Poor addressing costs businesses billions of dollars and hampers the growth and development of entire nations.
Around 75% of the world (135+ countries) suffers from inadequate addressing.
4 billion people are invisible, unable to get deliveries or receive aid, and unable to exercise their rights as citizens.
Everyone and everywhere now has a simple address
what3words is a global grid of 57 trillion 3mx3m squares.
Each square has a 3 word address that can be communicated quickly, easily and with no ambiguity.
Our geocoder turns geographic coordinates into these 3 word addresses and vice-versa.
Using words means non-technical people can accurately find any location and communicate it more quickly, more easily and with less ambiguity than any other system like street addresses, postcodes, latitude & longitude or mobile short-links.
Used in over 170 countries by individuals, business and NGOs
