Water, rail, and motorway emergencies defy the post code system entirely. W3W has it covered. Air-sea would benefit too. I don't think all the possibilities have been realised yet.

However, I am not 100% certain that I follow its logic. Or perhaps what I mean to say is “follow the point “. Why complicate things by having to remember words or use words to find an address when using an address is the best way for someone to find you in most cases? The address system currently being used has been tried and true for what seems like forever. Am I also missing something?

No problem with them only getting close. This is an interesting concept but until I hear that 9 1 1 is using it, I'll not risk giving them the 3 words & have the dispatcher not know what I am talking about. Also, isn't it true that 9 1 1 dispatch can get your location if you are using a cell phone with location on?
