"frame;lock;door" hmm... or was it "frame;lock;window"? ---> mail gets delivered to the other side of the world. If you write "Main street 15" instead of "Main street 13" it will probably get delivered correctly anyway as long as the name is correct.
Also, tell people who are supposed to deliver mail in the favelas of Brazil to constantly wear a smartphone around their neck and you will see very few people willing to do that work... Imo it's better to let these areas choose their own (classic) addresses and then report these to the authorities. /Andreas On Tue, Aug 30, 2016 at 7:24 PM, Colin Smale <colin.sm...@xs4all.nl> wrote: > I am going to say this very quietly.... what3words > > > > > On 2016-08-30 19:12, Florian Lohoff wrote: > > > Hola, > > On Tue, Aug 30, 2016 at 05:03:39PM +0200, Iván Sánchez Ortega wrote: > > Warning: flame thread about to start. > > El tirsdag 30. august 2016 16.50.14 CEST Oleksiy Muzalyev escribió: > > It is clear that in Iceland there are street signs.
