What3words - Mytriumph Navigation

I wanted to introduce myself as I look after the partnership between Triumph and what3words.

Triumph is the first motorbike manufacturer to adopt what3words. what3words provides a precise and incredibly simple way to talk about location. We have divided the world into a grid of 3m x 3m squares and assigned each one a unique 3 word address. It means anywhere can be found with 3 simple words.

For bikers, this means that riding to a remote meeting point, building back entrance, specific parking spot etc. is made easy. By typing a 3 word address into the updated My Triumph app, the turn by turn navigation on the TFT display will get you to the exact spot. No more pulling over to check the directions or thinking you’ve arrived only to realise the address isn’t quite right.



The updated MyTriumph app is now live with what3words which you may have already seen and I hope some of you have already played around with sending three word addresses to your TFT for easy navigation (even with the current situation hindering the ability to ride).

We are planning some exciting partnership activity for when the world opens up again but, in the meantime, I will happily answer any questions you have about what3words and the partnership and would welcome any feedback.

Thanks,
Charlie

Great to hear you have our app @littleade . I'll let you know when B*W see the light on building it into their bikes...

 

Hi @Oz228 , sorry to hear this. The current location three word address is given from your device GPS (which can sometimes be wildly inaccurate). If this is the case, you can refine the map to the 3mx3m square (and attached three word address) that best represents where you are.

Some more explanation can be seen here: https://support.what3words.com/en/a...-somewhere-different-from-where-i-actually-am

 

Hey @Old dumb arse let me know if you manage to get the app dowloaded.
