Case Study: Pocket Earth enhances offline navigation and location sharing with what3words

3 words to explore the world with Pocket Earth

Pocket Earth, the popular offline navigation app for travellers and adventurers, faced a common challenge when exploring abroad: poor and unreliable addressing, especially in places with weak data reception. To make it easier for users to find and share exact locations, Pocket Earth added what3words 3 word addresses to its maps and navigation experience.

what3words integrated its address system into Pocket Earth so users can view, search, navigate to, and share 3 word addresses both online and offline. The result is simpler wayfinding for hard-to-find places, from campsites to hidden entrances, with the added benefit of highly precise 3 metre square location accuracy across 57 trillion locations.
