@garytx @what3words being used for FtMac fire in Alberta? Sweet!

@densaer @what3words seems particularly potentially useful with some of the remote locations involved w/o conventional addressing.

@garytx @what3words yep. Did some trials of it during the refugee crisis deployment, it's in the bag of tricks for the next emergency.

@densaer @what3words Glad to hear it. Only potential shortcoming I see (other than adoption process) is heavy dependency on connectivity.

@garytx @what3words it's algorithmic, there's offline capabilities. I'm sure they'll chime in here soon - very responsive Twitter account

@densaer @garytx @what3words My curiosity is about how it relates. I know which way to go if I'm at -117 and someone else is at -118.

@JohnAFisher @densaer @what3words I'm a neophyte with it, but 1 means is w/cell phone app which can navigate 2 point, but dependent on cvrge
