It’s not a navigation app though, just gives you a 3 word location.

It’s a useful location tool and fantastic for parts of the world with no postal system or poor road infrastructure, but here I would always use a map and compass for wandering around far from anywhere. Technology can always fail!

I’ve had it for yonks too but in my experience blue lights would prefer map coords if in the wilderness and there are more navigation points if in more rural or urban settings. Not arguing against it, it’s a useful addition to your trekking arsenal, but don’t rely on it.

Exactly. Always have a map and compass in the great outdoors! I usually use W3W to ‘drop a pin’ on where I’ve parked the car if we’re in a town we don’t know or in a massive car park. Navigate back to it using Google or Apple Maps!
