Love this comment. Laughing

Sounds like a nice addition - It's rare folks use W3W, but it is pretty fun to use and far easier than trying to use complex coordinate formats. I was trying to find the Brands Hatch Paddock entrance a while back - this would have been handy.

Skate.Spaced.Eruptive is actually in a 3 sided valley - near a filming location for Lawrence of Arabia, not a wide open plane as pictured. Neutral

I also found this little place just south of Hamburg: https://w3w.co/defender.broken.again

Emergency Services use it, and the Blood Bike service I belong to use it too. Obviously it’s very important to get the spelling right when giving a location over the phone. The Phonetic alphabet is useful for this.

I am thinking there is an outback theme here... Defender.Discovery.Series is also in Aus, although Western Australia near Lake Carnegie.

and Series.Defender.Discovery is NW of Alice Springs

and Range.Rover.Classic is in the Northen territory
