Using what3words:Northumbria Police and Northumberland Fire and Rescue are now using what3words. This means if you get into an accident and are having trouble describing where you are (if you’re out walking, for example), you can use the app to tell them your exact location.what3words has labelled every 3m x 3m square in the world with an address made of three random words from the dictionary. For example, the 3 word address of Nelson's Column in Trafalgar Square is ///this.fantastic.notesAll you need to do is download the free what3words app. You’ll be able to see and share the 3-word address of your current location and also to find out the 3-word address of your home (by typing in your address and selecting the square containing your front door).If you’re renting your property on Airbnb or any other accommodation sites, you can also use it to make sure guests don’t get lost by just sending them the 3-word address of the front door/property entrance (especially if your postcode goes to the wrong place!).Visit what3words.com or download the app to find out more.
