| > jump.legend.warblers which was in Vietnam So they knew exactly that it was wrong. So it worked perfectly. If you want to be hip you could write a program to work out what was actually said given other information, ie what cell tower it came from. I hate 3 words, I can't remember why, maybe it was copyright or something, but this article isn't selling why it's a problem. Rescuers will also get all the normal info like the parents who might know the track, and everything else said. Saying just use latitude and longitude co-ordinates, is like saying "MREW is keen to encourage anyone planning a day in the outdoors to carry a paper map and a compass" Latitude and longitude is scary and complex. Rescuers might think it's easy but I'm sure there's plenty of things they find scary and hard other people find easy. Just the appearance of most of the latitude and longitude apps is technical. 'What 3 Words' sounds like teddy bears. |

Okay, but what if they got the invalid location and then the caller disconnected? Calling them back might be difficult. And if you do get the caller to repeat, can you now be sure that "jump.legends.warbler", which is in the UK, wasn't supposed to be "jump.legends.warblers", which is also in the UK? And how many cases are there that they didn’t mention, which were in the correct country, but a few kilometers off the real location?
