A what3words Case Study
UAVenture, a Zurich-based developer of flight control software for mapping, surveying, filming and delivery drones, faced a common piloting challenge: GPS coordinates are accurate but hard to use and prone to human error when entered manually, risking off-course flights. Their tablet-based AirRails platform aims to simplify drone control but needed a safer, more user-friendly way to specify landing and delivery locations.
UAVenture integrated what3words into AirRails so operators can plan flights to and from easy-to-share 3 word addresses that offer GPS-level accuracy. The change streamlines flight planning for novice pilots, lets customers provide precise delivery locations at checkout, and reduces manual entry errors—advancing reliable, scalable drone delivery.
