>>I'm not a fan. One small spelling error and your 'coordinates' are useless
I'm not sure what I think.
You're right about spelling errors, but surely a mistake can be made in a Lat/Long address also.
They say that with similar addresses they *try* to keep them as far apart as possible. I'm not a huge fan of the word "try".
And the addresses can be very similar. The example they give is;
"For example, ///limit.broom.flip is in London, UK while ///limit.broom.slip is in Washington, USA".
Now clearly those two are very far apart, but it does show how easily a mistake could be made.
I can't easily think of an example where what3words would work and another system would not. I think the only thing that comes to mind is that it is very simple to use and an 'address' very simple to remember and to communicate and perhaps that's a good enough reason for it to exist.
