Case Study: Copter Express achieves accurate, accessible drone deliveries with what3words

Drone deliveries to everyone with what3words and Copter Express

Copter Express builds delivery drones and the software to manage their flight routes, offering fast, precise deliveries—often to rural or hard-to-address locations. The company found that traditional GPS coordinates are long, hard to transcribe and remember, and small mistakes can send a drone to the wrong place or put off users unfamiliar with technical coordinates.

By integrating what3words—a system that assigns every 3 m x 3 m square on the planet a unique three-word address—Copter Express added a human-friendly way to specify destinations. The change makes addresses easier to share and reduces errors, improving accessibility and efficiency; Copter Express says the simplicity of what3words complements their technology and is a convenient solution for many drone delivery use cases.
