We all know the problem. It’s the classic GPS issue that hits every blind person. The last ten yards.

It’s a common issue. You are heading to a building to meet someone inside and although the GPS app gets you close to the building it won’t help you find the front door. And what about the flip side? You want a taxi to pick you up at a precise location but you aren’t exactly sure of the area to guide them to you?

That’s where What 3 Words comes in. It’s a clever system where the world is divided up into 3 metre squares and each square has a unique combination of three words.

Today on the podcast Hannah Rowlatt joins Blind Guy Steven Scott to walk us through the app and how to use it.

I am an absolute geek who loves technology. I also happen to be severely sight impaired and that has meant my journey with new technology has been challenging. What I've learnt is what I want to share with others and I do that on my weekly radio show and podcast for AMI-audio called Double Tap Canada, as well as my weekly role on Double Tap TV for AMI-tv. I'm also a very lucky husband and the owner of the world's coolest dog!
