Genuine interest - what advantage does what3word deliver over using long/lat coordinates? The following limitations come to mind: 1) requires specific map or software to map words to coordinates and 2) has limited accuracy, where geo coord system can literally map sub centimeter
Hi Andrius, what3words addresses are a human-friendly way of giving the same information as a GPS coordinates: they're easier to remember than long/lat coordinates and quicker and easier to say over the phone, and to enter into a device or navigation system by voice or text.

Ease of input for voice - potentially. Text - sorry, no. Typing from a selection of 10 chars is superior to typing from a selection of 26. Also - autocomplete might try to 'help' you with text. Any research backing up the claim for easy-of-input?
