Case Study: BlindSquare achieves accurate navigation for the visually impaired with what3words

Accurate navigation for the visually impaired with what3words and BlindSquare

BlindSquare, the world’s leading navigation app for the blind and visually impaired, faced a challenge with imprecise street addresses and difficult-to-share GPS coordinates when helping users travel independently. To improve location accuracy and communication, BlindSquare integrated what3words into its app.

With what3words, BlindSquare users can search for or enter 3 word addresses to navigate to an exact 3m x 3m location and announce their current position in three simple words. The result was a much easier way to identify, find, and share places without outside help, significantly improving independent navigation for BlindSquare users.
