And many other solutions on smart phones for giving location pretty easily. What3Words doesn’t seem to solve a problem, just creates more. Wonder how much emergency services have to pay for it?
@adhwitham
what3words does not charge emergency services to use the system and our app & website are free for all.

What you mean is... "what3words does not charge emergency services to use the system.... yet". You can't provide any guarantees that it wouldn't change.

I love how the only bit you've addressed is the fact you don't currently charge emergency services. Not the fact that the location was wrong. Amazing.

Is this guaranteed ad infinitum, by contract? And what measures are in place to ensure continuity of service if your company fails?

If? Been around 8 years and posting revenues of £400K off the back of £100M+ investment. I think it's a matter of when...

Our product is sub par but that’s OK because when someone dies we didn’t get any cash so our conscience is clear.
