What3Words

What3Words, anyone ever hear of this? Just noticed it in my GPS app. It's kind of interesting, and a bit weird. They've broken the world down into 3m squares and assign each square a 3 word name. So rather than giving someone out a long series of numbers for your GPS location you can give three words and they'll be able to find you within a 3m square area. Kind of weird but kind of fun to see what 3 words would make up your address. For example, the front door of the building I work in is near husband.pokers.bravo.

Never heard of it, but it is a great idea.
