    I work supporting film crews shooting on location, and this takes productions to many varried places, often off the beaten track, away from urban communities and swift support from emergency services. On one such production one of my colleagues suffered a heart attack at the weekend when there was no shooting and he was alone on the unit base. Luckily he was on the phone to a colleague when his attack started and the colleague managed to drive to him and call emergency services. However it was difficult for him to give an exact location due to the remote nature of the shoot, which was in a field oin a country estate without any landmarks close by. Had he got What3Words on his Waze app he could have given an exact location immedaitely. Luckily our friend was ok, following the work of paramedics and an operation.

    Adding what three words to the Waze link would be a great addition

    This is a wonderful idea - it would make Waze even more user friendly.

    Anything that gets me safely to my EXACT destination is extremely valuable to me. This would be a huge value-add for Waze!

    This should be standard functionality with Waze. Even in the middle of nowhere there’s address with What3Words. Sort this out Waze.

    Would lift Waze to the top of the navigational maps - and so useful too

    What3Words is great for locations which are do not have a postal address.. woodlands, some parks etc

    It's also really helpful to narrow down areas more specifically (front or rear of a premises)

    would definitely improve Waze

    pretty please Waze team ;-)

    Post codes are useful to see a large area, but when it comes down to an address in the middle of the postcode more accuracy is needed!

  • Christopher Kelly commented  ·   ·  Report

    Would be useful to have, instead of taking you to the middle of the road if you don't have a specific address available

  • Jon Moore commented  ·   ·  Report

    Working in the film industry, What3Words is used extensively to help us get to locations. Being able to input the What3Words code directly would be hugely advantageous.

    This would be so much easier with new builds and addresses that aren't formally adopted yet.
