Ran across this interesting concept from a news article.

 

A company/organization has figured out you can address every single point on earth in 3x3m square resolution using a combination of 3 English words.

 

Which is a damn sight easier to remember than a long string of GPS coordinates.

 

Apparently Tongo is adopting it for their brand new national post service. Instead of street addresses every 3sqm of their islands (and all water in between) effectively has a postal address they can plug into a drone and drop your mail off to.

 

There is a phone app that you can download that uses the system instead of GPS coordinates.

 

Now I don't know about you but I'm happy with a system that puts me withing 3m of my fishing marks and makes it dead easy to share those marks with mates.

Plus you can get some hilarious combinations.
