I think this may have been mentioned elsewhere, the incredibly useful app ‘what three words’.
The whole planet is divided into 3m x 3m squares, there is a three word code for each square. Given that postcodes are so hit and miss (I have an Orkney postcode, though I live on the mainland), this is an invaluable tool for finding EXACT locations.
This app is fast becoming the must go to tool for the emergency services, delivery drivers and anyone else that needs precise locations. A pal of mine operates tourist boats in the summer, as an added safety system its without compare. It has the whole planet, including the oceans covered.
Perhaps a very useful tool for finding and passing on camping spots. A local photographer that uses drones is incorporating it into his software, I’m certain many other uses will be found.
As for me? If you want to find my gaff, it’s medium fiery lizards!
