So it needs to be downloaded in advance to a smartphone and GPS needs to be enabled and in range for it to work out what 3 words to use? I'm not condemning it or doubting it's utility but I don't think being able to say something like Fizzy Malaga Mouse would have helped yesterday. Even if I'd had it then by the time I'd stopped the three words would have been quite different.

I'll stick to my guns and say people in call centres dealing with incidents on the road should (a) know their patch and (b) be supported by software that can find locations by whatever means the caller needs.

If the caller says they're on the A859 between Balallan and Ardvourlie that'll be enough for the Isle of Lewis recovery contractor; one road two successive bits of ribbon development.
