Case Study: Geo-System achieves widespread access to Poland’s geospatial data with what3words

Cracking the geo-code with what3words and Geo-System

Geo-System, Poland’s leading geoportal provider whose e-mapa platform powers 68% of the country’s geoportals, serves local governments, businesses and residents with detailed geospatial data covering millions of points and streets. However, that data can be complex and hard for non-experts to interpret, limiting access to accurate location information for everyday users, tourists and service providers.

To widen access, Geo-System integrated what3words into its web and app services, giving every 3m x 3m square in Poland a unique, easy-to-share three-word address that is more precise than postal addresses. The integration lets users discover and share exact locations—including entrances, attractions and unaddressed rural points—directly from the geoportal, and positions Geo-System as the first Polish provider to offer what3words with upcoming Polish-language support and future feature updates.
