On the same token, further down the article says:

> So, for example, circle.goal.leader and circle.goal.leaders are less than 1.2 miles (2km) apart along the River Thames.

It's circle.goals.leader, which really underlines the point.
Yes, this really demonstrates how this system doesn't live up to its promise. As someone previously involved in a SAR team I find the growing expectations on W3W very frustrating. It's like watching a slow train wreck. Ambulance and police services here are rolling it out in a kind of shadow-IT form way too rapidly. The largest problem I have with it by far though is pegging all these organisations to a reliance on a tech startup and a closed license.
