I have just inherited an iPhone and put What3Words on it.

What I can't locate is a map which I can put on the desktop at home so my OH can locate me if I am lost by putting in the 3 words I give her.

I thought I had one on the computer about 18 months ago but it seems to have vanished.

Sherwood (Kent); Jesson (London); Worboys (Herts)

we have a club on an airfield in cambridgeshire in case of accident ,WTW was installed on a phone, however the nearest point to our club it recognised was the main gate... two miles away..

Bob - I am surprised at that, suggest you have another try.

I checked mine three on four times on a walk yesterday and each time it gave different co-ordinates for different locations.

My son says that you can use the following maps:-

w3w.co

It will work anywhere in the world. Your OH will then just have to put in the What3Word address that you give her.
