Anyone looked at this? Saw on news blip yesterday....

What3words app ....
Gives a 3 word locator code for a 10 ft box for 911 or sar to find you. Supposedly anywhere.
 
Interesting find. Lots of push for it from various authorities. My understanding is that you still have to be able to reach 911, so if no signal by any carrier, SOL. Seems there have been a number of problems as well, but I suppose that applies to other PLB systems. UK seemed to have a number of posts with issues. Certainly easier to read off than coordinates, if no mistake is made. What3Words Issues
