Students - We have collaborated with WHAT3WORDS

This year we have collaborated with what3words. A company that has divided the world into 3 metre squares and gave each square a unique combination of three words.

What is WHAT3WORDS?
The simplest way to talk about location.

This year we have collaborated with what3words. A company that has divided the world into 3 metre squares and gave each square a unique combination of three words. You will see on the student booklet, each property has their own three words. Put those three words into the what3words app or website and find the exact location of the student property!
 
Street addresses weren’t designed for 2021. They aren’t accurate enough to specify precise locations, such as building entrances, and don’t exist for parks and many rural areas.

This makes it hard to find places and prevents people from describing exactly where help is needed in an emergency or if you have a delivery. Just say those three words!


Why do I need WHAT3WORDS when I have google maps?
Google Maps is a tool for navigation, public transport and for looking up POIs. what3words has a very different function – it’s an easy way to communicate exact locations, whether that’s spoken over the phone or into a car voice navigation system, or typed into a taxi app or a website checkout page.

If you’re given a what3words location, you can open it in the what3words app, then tap ‘Navigate’ and select ‘Google Maps’ to open the exact location in Google Maps and get directions.


Future facing

I've seen a property I like, do I tell you the three words?
Yes, you will see on our website listings and on the student booklet how each property has been given their own three words. Say to us those three words and we will be able to find the property instantly.

Download the app or use the website
Millions of people around the world use what3words to make life safer, more efficient and less frustrating.

Take a look at our student booklet where you will see each property allocated to three words.

Take care,

The Alexanders Team.
