  1. Quite a back-and-forth with #WarwickshireRoadSafetyPartnership on #Twitter & #Facebook over this, trying to get answers to basic questions that they don't answer:

    1. How did the public education campaign campaign arise?

    2. Why choose #What3Words over apps that are standard in Android + iOS (i.e., #GoogleMaps, #AppleMaps)? What benefits does it offer?

    3. What independent due diligence has been done to verify W3W suitability in safety-critical situations given verifiable flaws?

  2. Oh no.

    #WarwickshireRoadSafetyPartnership is running an online campaign promoting #What3Words. Given the risk of error through the "address" being misheard, misread, mispronounced, or mistyped (as has been reported), and that those in trouble may not even have the app, this seems pointless and dangerous.

    Surely much better to run a campaign educating people on how to quickly find their location coordinates using stock Android and iOS apps (#GoogleMaps and #AppleMaps)

  3. Got a #police outcome for this van #driver, reported for the absolutely ridiculous number of parcels stacked in their windscreen, seriously hampering their view of the road at the end of December last year.

    A one-off educational awareness course was offered by #WarwickshirePolice, and completed at the driver's expense.
