A what3words Case Study
Ulaanbaatar Passport helps locals discover cafes, bars, and restaurants across Mongolia’s capital, but Ulaanbaatar’s difficult-to-navigate streets, lack of consistent numbering, and landmark-based directions made it hard for people to find venues, especially at night. what3words was brought in to improve wayfinding, using its 3 word address system to help guide users to exact locations.
With what3words, every listing in Ulaanbaatar Passport now includes a 3 word address accurate to 3m x 3m, directing people straight to each venue’s entrance. The result is a smoother nightlife experience in sub-zero temperatures and more people exploring the city, giving local businesses a boost through easier access and better discovery.
