Never Get Lost Again: What3Words Now in PaddlePal!
We’re excited to announce a new feature that makes exploring and staying safe on the water even easier—What3Words integration has just landed in PaddlePal!
Whether you’re scouting new spots to paddle or sharing your last known location in an emergency, PaddlePal now uses What3Words to pinpoint any location on Earth with incredible accuracy. Here’s how it works and why it matters:
Find Paddle Points Faster with What3Words in PaddleFinder
PaddleFinder just got a serious upgrade. Each paddle point now includes a What3Words address—a unique combination of three words that represent a 3m x 3m square anywhere on the planet.
Forget fumbling with vague directions or confusing GPS coordinates. Want to meet a friend at that perfect paddle launch spot? Just share the What3Words address like:
👉 ///launch.steering.board – it’s that simple.
Benefits:
Easier to discover: Use the 3-word address to find exact access points and hidden gems.
Safer group paddling: Share precise meeting spots or checkpoints with friends.
Works anywhere: Even in remote areas with no formal addresses.
Stay Safer with What3Words in PaddleSafe
Your safety is our priority. Now, PaddleSafe displays your last known location as a What3Words address. If you’re ever in trouble or need help, this makes it easier than ever to communicate your location clearly and accurately—even if you’re off the beaten path.
Imagine you’re out paddling and your phone signal drops. If someone checks your PaddleSafe session, they’ll see exactly where you were last seen using a What3Words location like ///paddle.safety.alert
Why This Matters:
Precise emergency info: Share your location with emergency services faster.
Peace of mind: Loved ones know exactly where you were last on the water.
Global coverage: Works even in areas with poor mobile coverage or no formal address system.
