Cool Weird Awesome With Brady Carlson

The app what3words breaks down all the spaces on earth into 3 meter by 3 meter squares and assigns each of those squares a unique set of three words. Anyone who knows the three words for a square can pinpoint it with GPS - just ask the group of lost hikers in a UK forest who got help in about a minute thanks to the system. Plus: the great state of Wisconsin is home to a 45 X 90 monument - the center point of the northern half of the Western Hemisphere. We've got it all in this state! This Smartphone App Can Save Your Life with Just 3 Words (Interesting Engineering) 45 X 90 Geographical Marker (Atlas Obscura)  Back Cool Weird Awesome on Patreon and you'll never feel lost. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/coolweirdawesome/message
