[QUOTE="chuter, post: 4070787, member: 13693"] This has been out for a few years and I've read a few articles that emergency services have used it to find people. They made a 3 meter grid over the entire planet and you can describe any square with 3 words, much easier than trying to use latitude and longitude if you're in a jam. Sounds like a great idea for hunters, hikers, even just being out on the highway. I just installed it on my phone.

At the end of the video he has some good suggestions for improvements. [MEDIA=youtube]SqK0ciE0rto[/MEDIA] [/QUOTE]
