Hopefully, I will never find myself in a situation where I need to use this
app, but just to be
prepared, is this: i.e.: finding out what the latest words are and then using
them, all done by
voice? or do I have to go through the laborious and precious time-consuming
process of typing them
in by whatever means I have at hand?
If I am dangling, held only by my, rapidly losing their purchase, fingertips,
from the face of a
crumbling cliff somewhere out in the remote parts of the Fjordland National
Park, said digits will
not be available for sending chatty/desperate little texts!

I have been playing with this and I don’t think the words change.
GPS on the phone is not entirely accurate. I can tell this better on my Android
phone than on my
Iphone. But basically, my location
is varying slightly even when I don’t move because of the changing accuracy of
GPS. I think if I go
to an outside location it will
be more consistent. But what I find is that old words still get me here. So
although my words appear
to change, the original words
still yield close to my location. Just like with GPS sometimes it puts me next
door and sometimes
here. So I think any words it
gives you will get someone close. And I think if you’re outdoors it will be
closer. So I’m going to
declare my words the ones in
front of my house even if in my room they’re different and also more changing.
On the web site they talk about putting your words on your web site or on a
sign. And if this is the
address system for some place,
then they numbers do in fact have to be static. Everything I reads indicate
they are static, so I
think it’s the accuracy of GPS.
It’s hard for us because when you put your address in, they still want you to
pick a square which we
can’t do.

So what happens if you give a first responder those three words, and by the
time the person looks
them up, the words change?

By the way, the three words for any particular address are not perminent. They
change quite
frequently. For this reason, before you
give a three words address to any one, one has to check the three words at the
time they need to
determine their exact location. For
example, if the three words address to your backyard now is cat.dog.bird, after
half an hour the
words could become, car.shop.mouse.
This is what I noticed, so please correct me if you have a different experience.
