Update 11/2021: Clarified some statement due to the comments of the w3w’s “Chief Marketing (!) Officer”.

Here are our three words: What is what3words? w3w is a system developed by a company for addressing the world in a…
Version 0.8.1 officially available as first version in the App/Play Stores
The first idea for developing the new app was born at a Geocaching event in November last year. Almost immediately, I believe in the same night, the first step was made. Today is the day.

Coordinate Parser
The coordinate parser is part of the coordinate functions. It is used with the coordinate insert function and with the variable coordinate tool. Its job is to interpret a meaningful coordinate (latitude and longitude) from a text. Coordinates can be specified in various formats.

Alphabet Values: Now with special characters and custom alphabets
Perhaps the most desired feature – and the one we have most vehemently rejected – is the support of umlauts in the letter values. Why were ÄÖÜß not included so far? 1. it is not defined how ÄÖß is encoded. We know 3-4 possibilities of interpretation alone. This was also shown again in the countless…

All registered Android alpha testers can already download it from the PlayStore, the iOS testers should receive their version later today. All other…
