what3words is terrible technology, and also proprietary.
Quick, what direction do you go to get from combos.cove.split to reindeer.steak.rules? I made up the second address, but it highlights how completely useless what3words is for directions.
Worse than useless.
- dalemyers 9y agoQuick, what direction do you go to get from 123 Main Street to 456 Birch Street? Quick, what direction do you go to get from 12.34567N, 12.34567W to 56.43210N, 23.87654E? Not being able to immediately determine direction between 2 addresses isn't a failing.
