Help us help you…

Emergency services around the world are using what3words. This helps services, such as ours, reach patients in a timely manner when they need us most – when every second counts.

Street addresses aren’t accurate enough to specify precise locations, such as building entrances, and don’t exist for parks and many rural areas. This makes it hard to find places and prevents people from describing exactly where help is needed in an emergency.

What3words has divided the world into 3-metre squares and given each square a unique combination of three words. It’s the easiest way to find and share exact locations.
