From my point of view, this approach is harder to remember than remembering 3 words (what3words).
Try to remember:
6GCRMQPX9G
3FHMRV5JMX
8FJM2QRW78
Or try to remember:
tell.fantasy.animal
zone.house.horses
home.penguin.room
Also what3words have got bad thinks as that similar words are far away from each other and the words location are not properly translated
- cameronbrown 7y agowhat3words is a much nicer system. It's actually such a simple system that I could think of a few other things to apply it to: 1. Random but fair distribution of domain names to everyone on Earth, if that becomes a thing. 2. Any kind of unique identifier that should be user memorable.
- abdullahkhalids 7y agoI agree that what3words is easier to remember. The disadvantage is that close by places don't have similar address codes. In principle, armed with just a compass and odometer and knowing your current plus code, you can make your way to a nearby plus code. Similarly, once you get a feel for the distance increment a plus code give you, you can tell how far away a given location is, and in what direction.
