How to Use What3Words for a Faster Rescue

What3Words has divided the entire world into 3-metre squares and gave each one a unique combination of three words. This is far more accurate than a standard GPS pin or trying to describe a "green field near Bury St Edmunds."

  1. Open the App or Website: Go to what3words.com on your phone.

  2. Find Your Location: Tap the "locate me" button (the crosshair icon).

  3. Read the 3 Words: You will see three words separated by dots (e.g., ///filled.count.soap).

  4. Tell Our Technician: When you call us, give us those three words. Our Forecourt Rescue Suffolk van will be able to navigate directly to your exact 3-metre square.
