The free what3words app can help you stay safe. The app divides the world into 3-meter (10-foot) squares and gives each square a unique three-word address, such as ///table.chair.lamp. This makes it easy to share an exact location — whether you’re on a hiking trail, out on the lake, in a park, or somewhere without a clear street address. The app is especially useful for helping first responders quickly locate someone in an emergency. It also works offline, supports multiple languages, and is available for smartphones and wearable devices.
