Indeed, I understand that. For single locations, that’s fine, but lat/long or OS Grids require the sequential nature of their code for navigation. MRTs and others have used W3W many times to locate casualties, which is amazing, but equally can be limited.

It should be said that W3W is a great addition to our location services, but as a navigation tool, (which is what we need more often than not) it stands to support other methods, not replace as some might think.
Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo
