The idea behind What3Words.com is pretty neat: describe every 3m x 3m square on the globe with a unique three-word combination. So eagle.sheep.horn describes a spot in front of Sydney Opera House, for example.
Confusingly, empire.state.building describes a point on a road in the Kanagawa prefecture of Japan.
There’s plenty of choice if you want to find a particularly apposite, amusing or just surreal location. Consider delicious.fresh.coffee found in Brazil, secret.agents.everywhere in Northern Russia. or the embarrassing.parsnip.incident in Bulgaria.
The challenge is find good locations in 100 different countries or states (U.S, Canada or Australia) that describe either some unique feature (fire.breathing.dragon), or reason for going/avoiding there (unsettling.gurgling.sounds).
Oceanic locations are excluded, so access to the secret.government.bunker off the coast of Japan is denied, unfortunately.
The Roman Catholic cathedral in The Pas, Manitoba, at a spot near the front where the priest might reasonably be expected to stand during Mass, is utterly.insincere.nobody . Does that count?
Did they actually allocate names for every square on earth, or are they only randomly creating them for locations people ask for, and storing that info in a database?
The webpage states that they allocated names for every square on Earth. Doesn’t seem like much to gain from creating them “on demand”. It’s not that much data by current standards.
