We are excited to announce a new integration with what3words is available on the Placer Guides platform. 🙌
Why are we excited? Let's start by explaining what what3words is exactly...
What3Words is a location technology that allows any location on the planet to be identified by a unique three word address. This revolutionary system breaks down the world into a grid of 3m x 3m squares and gives each square a unique combination of three words that can be used to pinpoint its location.
So how does this integration improve your guest experience?
For starters, it makes it easier for guests to find the exact location of their accommodation via their guest guidebook. Even with our great Google Maps integration, traditional street addresses can often be confusing, especially in cities where buildings have similar names or numbers.
With what3words, guests can simply tap the what3words address on the guide landing page, which will take them directly to the front door.
In addition, what3words can be particularly useful for properties that are located in remote or off-grid areas, such as beach houses, cabins in the woods, or rural farmhouses. For these properties, traditional street addresses may not even exist, but what3words can pinpoint the location with remarkable accuracy.
Another benefit of what3words is that it can be used by guests in emergency situations during their stay. If a guest needs to call for help but is unsure of their exact location, they can provide their three word address to emergency services, who can then locate them quickly and easily.
Overall, the integration with what3words is a valuable addition to our platform that will enhance the guest experience and reduce questions for hosts and property managers from guests unable to find their property.
To add your what3words address to your guide head to the Guide Details section of the Placer Guides app, search for your property on what3words, add the 3 word address and update. Your properties what3words address should now be on the guide landing page.
