what3words today launched the Latin American Spanish version of its free application, with 3 words easier to locate anywhere in the world, with an accuracy of two meters. This solution achieves a much higher accuracy of a postal address, and is much easier to remember than numeric coordinates of a GPS.
What3words possibilities are endless. Simply share three words with a text message, social networks or Internet, to contact or reconnect with friends and they know exactly their location, either in a busy area like the Chapultepec Park in Mexico City, during a concert or sporting event and even in a completely uninhabited area as a mountain, desert or sea.
Furthermore, what3words has OneWord payment service, at an annual cost of a half dollar, the system lets you create a custom reference short and easy for any location you choose with precision, from the door of your house or shop, to the penalty spot your favorite stadium. OneWord is designed to further facilitate meetings between friends, family and acquaintances.
The idea of what3words arises when one of its three founders, Chris Sheldrick, lost in Uruguay. Despite having the address of your destination and a GPS, could not come, or contact friends. This motivated him to create a solution to facilitate the location compared to traditional systems that use an address with further instructions, often complex, and it was easier to remember that all GPS coordinates.
"Our mission is to create a new universal addressing system that solves the problems associated with the inconsistencies of the current systems address" reveals Chris Sheldrick, CEO of what3words. "For this, what3wordsse has given the task of identifying combinations of 3 words for a total of 57 billion Space locations in the world by land and sea."
According reveal its founders, the launch of the Latin American version of what3words "is a priority for consumers and businesses in many countries on the continent that can substantially improve how they are located, improving current address systems that are inadequate and inaccurate in many occasions ".
The app is available in English and now in Spanish in Latin America. The Russian will be the third language to handle this new mapping service to eventually incorporate new languages such as Portuguese.
What3words geolocation application is now available in Latin America in the iOS Apple Store and Android Market Place. The system can also be used via the web from any internet browser.
