What3words is a location-oriented addressing system that has divided the world into 57 trillion square meters of 3 meters by 3 meters and assigned each of them a unique combination of three words. The idea is to provide a more precise and easier-to-remember way to communicate location information than latitude and longitude or street addresses, ideal for drone services.
For some options we offer the what3word functionality – the ‘Delivery Location’ button is then visible on the ‘new mission’ page
