Jonny 290 posted:it's a neat idea but it bugs the poo poo out of me because Maidenhead grids have been a thing for like decades and would have been just fine. I think the idea of 3 words is better because 3 words are way easier to remember and transcribe when describing your position, or understanding where someone else is. The only disadvantage is without a lookup table, you have no way to deduce where someone is based on "partial" information. Of course it would be better if the algorithm used to derive the words was a bit more deterministic and tuples that started with the same word were close to others, but meh.

Yea those things are cool. I always get nostalgic when I see those things out in rural texas/new mexico.
