From a police perspective, yes we do. It’s integrated with our C&C system to give a location. I’m a die hard map and grid ref sort of person so took a while to come round to W3W, thinking there was nothing wrong with promoting OS Grid Finder app etc.

However there’s something simple about W3W in terms of it just being three words, no long incomprehensible numbers, no associations with not being able to understand grids, and a good marketing machine - it’s captures public imagination, and it’s here to stay, so need to embrace.
