Default Introducing the simply amazing What3Words app !
Well .. we are currently living the dream in the glorious hidden gem known as Lindos , Rhodes .. personally having zero sense of direction I downloaded the fabulously popular app What3Words

Amazing !!

You search for a place you want to visit or you save the place were you are - at the moment or where you’ve parked the car and the app generates THREE completely random words that act as a set of co-ordinates forever !

Then you select the 3 words option in the ap and click on navigate to the link and you get an on screen compass taking you to your destination- accurate to a couple of metres !

It looks like a Video Game map.

It’s a good app for hiking/if you’re going out to places with little people. If you get in trouble but not sure of your location you can give those words to the emergency services.
