The way to take What3 to the woodshed would be with an actual standard. Publish a new dictionary of per spoken language mappings to Google's plus.codes. Something like xaddress.org on top of plus.codes. Call it twowords. You get the best of both worlds, human friendly nav for Uber like apps, compact codes for shipping / logistics / universality.
- jimofl 7y agoWouldn't it be kind of like "DNS for locations" where any string phrase could be associated with the OLC/Plus Code (many human descriptive names to one location identifier)? Better, what if you could then universally translate between that and the many other kinds of location encodings, both human descriptive and computer identifier? That's what we do at QA Locate with our LNS (Location Naming Service) and our ULT (Universal Location Translator).
