Case Study: Boundless enhances QGIS with simpler location referencing using what3words

Now you can use what3words in QGIS with Boundless

Boundless partnered with what3words to bring 3-word addressing into QGIS through a new plugin. Boundless needed a simpler, more human-friendly way for users to reference and search locations in the open-source GIS platform, instead of relying only on traditional coordinates.

what3words delivered a QGIS plugin powered by its geocoding service, letting users display, search, and batch-convert 3-word addresses to and from coordinates, and add a 3-word address field to point layers. The solution made location sharing easier to communicate and more efficient to implement, with the article highlighting the Boundless Washington, D.C. headquarters example and emphasizing quicker, more cost-effective location referencing.
