You can add what3words (w3w) locations to any location. This is useful if your venue has more than one location within in it, or if you want customers to use a specific entrance for events. It works by splitting the earth up into 3-meter squares, each with a unique three-word identifier. For example, the Alec Stewart Gate at the Oval is maps.move.fried
w3w is compatible with Google Maps and Apple Maps.
Example 1
You could be holding a conference event in a sports park. The street address would be “The Sports Park, The Street, Townsbury”. But your event is in one of the conference rooms at the back of the venue. You can use w3w to give the exact location of the entrance of the building that your customers would need to find.
Example 2
You are holding a festival across multiple fields. You can use w3w to give the precise entrance to the event, various parking locations and any other locations across a vast site without having to rely on postcodes or discriptions.
How to use w3w
Visit w3w here, and you then need to find the exact location and copu the three words given for that location.
At the bottom of every location in Comus, there is a box to paste your three words into.
When pasting into Comus, you do not need the URL, or the three slashes /// – you only need the three words, as in our previous example: maps.move.fried
