FAQ

Can I use what3words offline?

Yes, you can find your current what3words address and navigate using the Compass mode even when you don't have an internet connection. This makes it incredibly reliable for remote areas or when data is unavailable.

Is what3words compatible with other navigation apps?

Absolutely! what3words works seamlessly with popular navigation apps like Google Maps and Apple Maps. You can easily export a what3words address to your preferred navigation app to start driving or walking directions.

This app is a lifesaver! I used it to meet friends at a complex park, and instead of describing vague landmarks, I just sent them the 3 words. So easy and spot on! 🙌

As a delivery driver, this is a game-changer. No more guessing which entrance or apartment number. Saves me so much time and hassle. Highly recommend! 🚚
