Reviews of maps with what3words:
Doesn't work with Google Maps and Bing Maps. The search function in Chrome address bar "/// " work.
It does work just instructions not clear! After install restart browser. To get a w3w address on google maps zoom in and left click the exact location, at the bottom of the map a little box appears with town, country, gps co-ords and w3w address ( ///word.word.word ). You may need to do last step a couple of times to get ///. Now, to use that w3w address or any w3w type in the browser address bar ( not google maps search bar ) /// + a space ( what3words | ) will appear, you then type the w3w address, i.e. (without slashes) dines.spellers.thin (With slashes, no space) ///dines.spellers.thin
Utterly useless. Asks which language to use and sticks there. Cannot use it. Win11 laptop.
Stuck on language selection and does nothing, very frustrating.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION: This ONLY works if you include a space between "///" and your what3words. WHY ISN'T THIS MENTIONED AT ANY POINT?! (NB On the what3words website, they themselves are inconsistent, and some addresses contain a space, and some don't. GAH!)
Seems based on the older comments the developer has abandoned this project and is not providing support. Does not work, period! Extension is stuck on asking me to select a language. Don't waste your time. Bummer I was looking forward to trying this out.
Total waste of time
Just stuck on asking me my language! Cannot get it to display anything at all.
Not doing anything, just pops up the language selection and does not show any what3words information.
W3W Translator GPS to W3W and vice versa Very Good
I struggled to get it to work when I first installed. However, follow this link to get some help. https://www.notion.so/what3wordsnotion/Using-what3words-in-Google-Maps-87e0b23d05b3485bb17101345ba3e111 In short, once you install the extension, type directly in the Address Bar, 3 slashes followed by a space and then your What 3 Words in the right format. Example: /// what.three.words Then it will take you where you want to go. Hope this helps. Craig
Doesn't seem to do anything at all! Can't find a w3w address, even when prefixed with ///, and doesn't show them either. Pity - would have been awesome if it did what it said on the tin!
Used to work fine. does not anymore. None of the desired functionality works, even having re-booted computer. Fingers crossed this will be resolved.
Finding w3w addresses works fine, clicking on map location does not display w3w address - only GPS coordinates.
It's supposed to display the W3W address on the map/text and does not do so. Support has been unresponsive.
This makes it so simple to find what3words addresses, and to share them directly from Google maps. Thank you!
Nowhere in the promotion email or the Chrome extension page (even in the extension's screenshot) does it emphasise that the words need to be prefixed by ///.
Really slick extension that enables what3words address entry into Google Maps and Google search bar – love it!
Amazing in its simplicity and effectiveness! Just like what3words itself....
Works perfectly!! Great how it has the w3w address at the bottom of the map with the GPS coordinates also!
Absolutely fantastic!
Brilliant Idea, should be taken up by everyone
