Ekoru.org search engine now supports searching of 3 word addresses! The what3words address system allows you to find any location on the planet with just 3 words.

When you’re exploring new places, finding the right locations is really important. But street addresses aren’t always reliable — they sometimes point to the wrong place entirely, and they’re never accurate enough to direct you to a specific entrance or car park. They also don’t exist for many places, such as where Operation Posidonia is restoring underwater meadows or where to find the best view on Mount Taranaki in New Zealand.

That’s why Ekoru has collaborated with what3words to allow users to enter any 3 word address into the search engine and find the location. Every 3 metre square on the planet has been given a unique combination of three words: a what3words address.

For example, /// nest.wicked.term will take you to Five Guys in Hollywood for a delicious burger!
