Utah Creates Location App For Hikers
Two cities in Utah have created a location app for hikers that will help SAR teams find the location of the hiker just in case a hiker gets lost.
“We divided the world into 3-meter squares and gave each square a unique combination of three words,” reads a company website description. “It’s the easiest way to find and share exact locations.”

The name of the app is called "what3words". I think this is such a genius idea for hikers just in case they get lost, they can go to the app and call for help, that way, it would make it easier for SAr teams to come to find the missing hiker. I think people should definitely download this app if they are planning on going on a hike in the woods or the mountains, especially if they are going alone. Great work to the people who develop this app. Please be safe out there!
