Aah, cellular range would be its greatest limitation. I'd overlooked that.
Pity. Sat-phones not in the general public's price range
I reckon.

You may not always be at an address, e.g. what if you are in the middle of a
large urban park which is hundreds or thousands of
acres in size or maybe not even in an urban park, but out and about on a
wilderness hike etc. Of course this system totally relies
on you having cell phone coverage which where I live is not at all a given,
in this case something like a Garmin Inreach is still
the only and best option to get out an emergency signal if something serious
happens and you need search and rescue to come get you.
Inreach is satellite based and works anywhere and it sends your long/lat
coordinates which still works just as good.
They say What3Words has split the world into I think it was 3 by 3 meter
squares which is approx.. 10 by 10 feet, so even an average
6,000 square foot residential property will have 60 What3Word addresses and
a 1,000 square foot house or apartment will have 10,
your bedroom could have 2 depending on its size..

Sieghard

It is indeed a very interesting concept. However, I am not 100% certain that
I follow its logic. Or perhaps what I mean to say is
“follow the point “. Why complicate things by having to remember words or
use words to find an address when using an address is the
best way for someone to find you in most cases? The address system
currently being used has been tried and true for what seems like
forever. Am I also missing something?

I must be missing something here. What is the problem with giving first
responders your address? No problem with them only getting
close. This is an interesting concept but until I hear that 9 1 1 is using
it, I'll not risk giving them the 3 words & have the
dispatcher not know what I am talking about. Also, isn't it true that 9 1 1
dispatch can get your location if you are using a cell
phone with location on?
