3words to find you

Post by chumley »

No more confusing numbers, minutes, seconds, degrees, utms, directions, magnets, celestial bodies, etc. Just three words.

Interesting concept. Anybody here think this is the future? I don't think it's currently supported in RE or RS, but it is used in a number of other digital mapping products. I noticed that AZ State Parks has signage that encourages hikers to use this location method.

Will HAZ hike descriptions change to "start at page.inner.twin, pass the bench at narrow.scout.boxer, and keep climbing until you reach the summit at monks.sunset.link"!!?

@rcorfman what’s the harm in it? I know of some people that use it that wouldn’t bother with GPS coordinates.

It’s not going to change the world as we know it, but most things don’t.
