I use what3words extensively, especially to direct couriers to deliver
parcels to my back garden 'dustbin' at home to leave things. Also to
get the correct delivery point/entrance in big buildings with multiple
entrances.
It gets lorries to correct delivery bay! Avoids low bridges/ tight
streets by warning them of these problems.
Also works great in Chinese for my PRC/ROC friends and others to fix
meeting points.
