Most topographic maps will be using MGRS grids for referencing a location,
it can be 1m precise to 100m depending on how much digits you grid

Hi John, All,
what3words is free at point of use and is human readable - the word component
also is quite good at error checking.
Postcodes and generic codes work if the people you want to use them have a

what3words is nice but is commercial. I was hoping for some sort of open

code followed by the postcode is a unique address. Example 10pr82az is 10
