Are you ready to take your outdoor adventures to the next level? We're thrilled to announce our partnership with what3words, bringing their location technology to OuterSpatial.

With this integration, finding hidden gems and remote trails is easier than ever before. You can now pinpoint your exact location using just three simple words, no matter where you are in the great outdoors. But what3words isn't just for adventurers—it's also used by emergency services worldwide for swift location identification, ensuring safety in even the most remote areas.

In OuterSpatial, the what3words addresses for over 40,000 points of interest are now displayed alongside their GPS coordinates, making it easy to quickly share a meetup location with your friends or emergency response. You can also get the what3words address for your current location by tapping on the blue dot that represents your position on a map in OuterSpatial. Additionally, you can obtain the what3words address for any location by long tapping anywhere on an OuterSpatial map. And if a friend shares a what3words address with you, you can quickly find it by typing it into OuterSpatial's search. The best part is that all of this functionality works even when you're offline!

With the new what3words integration, you can now explore with even more confidence using OuterSpatial. Your next unforgettable outdoor experience is just three words away!
