Info: What3Words is a website that has divided the world down into 3 metre square chunks. When you put your location it will tell you 3 (random!) words that uniquely identify the 3 m square that you are standing in. For example, the middle of Edinburgh Castle's 3 words are "Buck Ears Match". This means we will be able to tell where you are standing.
