Actually, this could be beneficial for mapping just about any
feature if
the mapper doesn't have a gps, or gps on their phone, or a decent
signal.
They could just annotate a feature on their field papers with the
three
words and know where to digitize it later.
You can't do it without GPS geolocation - it wouldn't be able to tell
you which three words you needed to write down.
Ture, GPS would be needed for the position. However, the codes don't
come from one big database but from an algorithm. So navigation or
mapping could be done offline. The API is just about 10 MB.
