Wow. Are the emergency services using the app in a formal way? What prompted them to ask this caller?
This is a recording of a 999 call to @BedsFire & #Rescue Service. The caller had the what3words app and was able to communicate their precise location in just a few seconds.
Get the app to be ready in case of #emergency.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AE9atN9OniI …

W3W is great but why not use the mobile phone location which is automatically relayed with every call through the AML standard? Surely 999 systems are plugged into that?

what3words provides a simple & portable way to refer to precise locations in an emergency, especially by voice. It compliments tools like AML by allowing services to pass that location much more easily between different parties. (1/2)
