summary
A geocoding system converts the planet into 57 trillion 10ft × 10ft (also described as 3m × 3m) squares and assigns each square a three-word address that’s localized into 35 languages, removes homophones to reduce voice errors, and includes error-detection. The company offers a free app plus an API/SDK sold to businesses, is embedded in cars (Mercedes, Ford) reaching 10 million vehicles, is used by emergency services, Red Cross and UN for rescues, and now provides an Amazon Alexa capability that returns distance and turn-by-turn navigation to the exact square.
