Here's a suggestion for the Tesla drivers in the W3W community. Whenever you're at a Supercharger, press the little target button in the lower right corner of your current position screen to find the w3w address of the supercharger. Then write a Google Maps review of the supercharger, and put in the W3W location. Sometimes the location of the supercharger is not exactly the location shown on your car's navigation app. Your W3W app will lead you right to the supercharger.

Very simple to use, just a short learning period. Once you grasp the concept of the random words, the app is INDISPENSABLE!! Outstanding to locate, find and meet people at large events, such as parks, Disney, outdoor venues, etc. Excellent for elderly or tech challenged people to use

Once you figure out how to use the app it is truly amazing! The idea of a grid system is almost magical and it works better than anything I have seen so far. There are two things that I would like to see changed: 1. Measurement in miles vs kilometers at least for North America 2. The ability to sort the saved locations by title. Even just having them in alphabetical order or being able to slide them into the position you want them to hold on the list would be a real time saver, especially when you are on the road. Finally, I look forward to great things from the minds of those who designed both the scheme and the app. Thank you very much.
