Yup I do, I use it as much as possible. Even Amazon uses it when I’m not in😊. You could use W3W yourself to get to the front door of anywhere in the world including C&MC sites👍🏻😊

You just need to understand what it’s for JV, it’s not a dictionary or a word puzzle🤣🤣🤣

W3W is a closed product. It is a for-profit company masquerading as an open standard!
The algorithm used to generate the words is proprietary. You are not allowed to see it. You cannot find out your location without asking W3W for permission. If you want permission, you have to agree to some pretty long terms and conditions. And understand their privacy policy. Oh, and an API agreement. And then make sure you don’t infringe their patents.
You cannot store locations. You have to let them analyse the locations you look up. Want to use more than 10,000 addresses? Contact them for prices!
We can reference any point on the surface of Earth using two co-ordinates, Longitude and Latitude.
Long/Lat are numbers. They can be as precise or as vague as needed. Numbers are fairly universal. Lots of countries use 0-9. English words are not universal. How does W3W deal with this?

Do Apple have a 'where am I?' app that will give me the longitude and latitude of where I am.

Can't seem to find one on my phone but perhaps it is too well hidden.
