What3Words now added to Malawi site
|
|
In many countries, streets and roads are populated with houses side by side that make it easy for standard addressing systems to work. In Malawi, and many African nations for that matter, it’s not quite as simple as that. A fantastic new initiative has been created by a company called What3Words (W3W). Using clever technology, W3W have mapped the whole world with an algorithm that gives every 3m square on the earth with it’s own unique 3 word address.
To assist travellers with their planning, we have implemented the W3W system into the Malawi Tourism website for every lodge listing.
