It is only and advantage if the emergency caller has the what3words app installed beforehand... And how many RCCs and their dispatchers in Europe know about what3words? Maybe in the UK, but elsewhere i doubt that they ever heard about it...
Franky1 This is why it needs to be promoted more. Yes in the UK it is being used but in countries that have no address system this is great, and those countries I’m sure will probably get on-board really quickly as it will help the emergency services and their residents. I think it is a great system.
Wo soll denn da der Vorteil zum Längen und Breitengrad sein? Jeder Ort der Erde - zwei Zahlen! Mit drei Zahlen hab ich auch noch die Höhe! Bei der Gelegenheit muß man die Post ja mal testen, was die aus dem Namen und zwei Zahlen machen...
wem das nicht klar ist, daß es tausendmal einfacher ist, sich 3 Worte zu merken + zu kommunizieren, als Zig-stellige Längen - und breitengrade.. so wie dich + deine denkweise Stelle ich mir die Leute hinter unserer Firmensoftware vor.. von Benutzerfreundlichkeit / leichter handhabbarkeit nie was gehört..
You’re right in that the technology is already here, but it is a lot easier to use now. In some countries that have a high technological presence like UK, USA, Australia, GPS may work well enough, but in rural parts of a country or a country that has no physical address system this system works really well. Plus communicating three words is far easier then having to give long coordinates. I think this is a great use of technology. The more it gets used and promoted the quicker it will take off.
@@ster2600 UK emergency services dispatcher here - no we don't. We might get a rough area based on cell phone towers, but we don't get any GPS info at all. W3W is really easy to put into our systems, and gives a 3m x 3m square to respond to.

emergency services will send a link, when the caller clicks it, the words are immediately generated
Ferry good thank you 3 word

@@laus9953 Hi, what 3words hat mich längst überzeugt. - eine optionale Höhenangabe wäre hin und wieder hilfreich! VGvG
Can just use any old GPS app. This is deliberately misleading the public, since the technology already exists and this does nothing new.
A 12 year old that is lost and panicking may give a lat long grid wrong and emergency services end up 10 miles away. This is not misleading whatsoever
@@craigrichtering856 The Emergency services automatically get your GPS coords when you ring them so no need to spend too much time with what3words.
