• (2023-11-02) Robert Johnson: This extension works with some limitations: Clicking on your map only pops up coordinates if Google doesn't pick up your click itself to select a venue, a business, a house, any point of interest, really. So if you click in an open field or the middle of the road, you will get the small black pin and the small window with w3w coordinates (and lat/long). Otherwise you get Google's larger window of location info (including lat/long and Plus Code). So this really limits your ability to choose w3w locations to give to others in the city. For this you may have to use the what3words map site or app instead. The part of this that fully works, and may be enough reason to keep this installed, is the w3w address entry into Google Maps using a searchbar search engine interface. You can go to your browser's searchbar at any time and hit: /// <tab> clip.apples.leap
• (2023-11-02) Uli Herzog: Leider ist diese Eweiterung nicht funktionsfähig. Installiert mit Chrome Version 119, Firefox Version 119. Getestet mit unterschiedlichen Spracheinstellungen (Deutsch, Englisch) und unterschiedlicher Schreibweise der drei Wörter (mit \\\, mit \\\ und Leerzeichen, ohne \\\). Mit dem Support von what3words hatte ich Kontakt. Der Support konnte mir auch nicht weiterhelfen. Inzwischen wird die Erweiterung von what3words auch nicht mehr empfohlen. Der entsprechende Support Artikel auf der what3words Homepage wurde ebenfalls entfernt. Schade drum.
• (2023-03-19) Ma. Edisa Villa: Doesn't work with Google Maps and Bing Maps. The search function in Chrome address bar "/// " work.
• (2022-09-20) T: It does work just instructions not clear! After install restart browser. To get a w3w address on google maps zoom in and left click the exact location, at the bottom of the map a little box appears with town, country, gps co-ords and w3w address ( ///word.word.word ). You may need to do last step a couple of times to get ///. Now, to use that w3w address or any w3w type in the browser address bar ( not google maps search bar ) /// + a space ( what3words | ) will appear, you then type the w3w address, i.e. (without slashes) dines.spellers.thin (With slashes, no space) ///dines.spellers.thin
• (2022-05-29) Nigel HS: Utterly useless. Asks which language to use and sticks there. Cannot use it. Win11 laptop.
• (2022-05-22) Rich K: Stuck on language selection and does nothing, very frustrating.
• (2022-05-09) Robin McKenzie: IMPORTANT INFORMATION: This ONLY works if you include a space between "///" and your what3words. WHY ISN'T THIS MENTIONED AT ANY POINT?! (NB On the what3words website, they themselves are inconsistent, and some addresses contain a space, and some don't. GAH!)
• (2022-05-02) Tim Overbeck: Seems based on the older comments the developer has abandoned this project and is not providing support. Does not work, period! Extension is stuck on asking me to select a language. Don't waste your time. Bummer I was looking forward to trying this out.
• (2022-02-18) phil harris: Total waste of time
• (2022-01-31) Derek Sewell: Just stuck on asking me my language! Cannot get it to display anything at all.
• (2022-01-19) Willie de Jager: Not doing anything, just pops up the language selection and does not show any what3words information.
• (2021-10-27) Nina J.: Using what3words address in address bar does not work (using /// + space). Search of address at maps.google.com does not work (using /// with or without space). it displays w3w address when i click on the map though. which does not help much if I can't search for it. Please fix those issues. I want to use w3w
• (2021-09-14) Ricko Kelly: W3W Translator GPS to W3W and vice versa Very Good
• (2021-08-11) craigmsimpson: I struggled to get it to work when I first installed. However, follow this link to get some help. https://www.notion.so/what3wordsnotion/Using-what3words-in-Google-Maps-87e0b23d05b3485bb17101345ba3e111 In short, once you install the extension, type directly in the Address Bar, 3 slashes followed by a space and then your What 3 Words in the right format. Example: /// what.three.words Then it will take you where you want to go. Hope this helps. Craig
• (2021-06-29) Ken Pemberton: Doesn't seem to do anything at all! Can't find a w3w address, even when prefixed with ///, and doesn't show them either. Pity - would have been awesome if it did what it said on the tin!
• (2021-06-24) Tim Hough: Used to work fine. does not anymore. None of the desired functionality works, even having re-booted computer. Fingers crossed this will be resolved.
• (2021-06-04) Scott Hillman: Finding w3w addresses works fine, clicking on map location does not display w3w address - only GPS coordinates.
• (2021-05-28) Peter Shaw: It's supposed to display the W3W address on the map/text and does not do so. Support has been unresponsive.
• (2020-04-06) Stefan Sahlander: This makes it so simple to find what3words addresses, and to share them directly from Google maps. Thank you!
• (2020-04-06) Len B: Nowhere in the promotion email or the Chrome extension page (even in the extension's screenshot) does it emphasise that the words need to be prefixed by ///.
• (2020-03-26) Maddie Taylor: Really slick extension that enables what3words address entry into Google Maps and Google search bar – love it!
• (2020-03-18) Amazing in its simplicity and effectiveness! Just like what3words itself....
• (2020-03-12) Andrew Cheng: Works perfectly!! Great how it has the w3w address at the bottom of the map with the GPS coordinates also!
• (2020-03-08) Daniel Fogg: Incredibly useful extension and very slick integration.
• (2020-03-05) Penny Willoughby: Absolutely fantastic!
• (2020-02-19) Steve Hancox: Brilliant Idea, should be taken up by everyone

• (2023-07-02, v:1.3.4) Dev Morrison: google maps with w3w
  When I click on the extension in Chrome, I get a smallish white box, with the title and a select language slider (English is shown). It looks like there may be an "open" box at the bottom of the box, but it is so low that I cannot click on it. Also unable to increase the size of the box to show if there is an "open" button. What can I do to use this extension?
• (2022-12-27, v:1.3.4) Charles Bartlett: Can this be modified to work with Google Calendar?
  I'd love to use What3Words addresses in Google Calendar. Can this be added to the extension? It doesn't work at the moment..
• (2022-12-11, v:1.3.4) Rebecca Sturdy: Maps with what3words
  Maps with what3words has just stopped working in Chrome. Whenever I type in an address after first putting /// and then a space it just shows as resolving.
• (2022-11-30, v:1.3.4) John Harrison: W3W location has two sets of 3 words?
  I am looking at the map which clearly shows my house and front garden, but it shows two red squares with two different sets of 3 words for my house?
• (2022-10-18, v:1.3.4) 25miles West: Extension not working in Bing Maps (MS Edge)
  Am running latest Win 11 and MS Edge. I have installed this what3words extension for Chrome – it says this is also good for Bing Maps (MS Edge). But when I run a search in there using a what3words location address, Bing Maps returns an error saying there are no results for this address. I have disabled Adblocker for the Bing Maps page. Still no luck... Any clues please..?
• (2022-08-08, v:1.3.4) Richard Galpin: Edge Extension
  This is an excellent product for Chrome but have you considered, and is it feasible, doing the same for Edge?
• (2022-07-20, v:1.3.4) Daniel T: Needs to be updated
  Needs to be updated for the current Google Maps interface.
• (2022-05-17, v:1.3.4) Tony Cohen: ok this DOES work, just very important info not shared

• (2021-04-29, v:1.3.3) Howard Seward: What3Words Location In Maps Not Shown

• (2021-01-22, v:1.3.2) David Smith: Language selection box not working - can't get into app
  I loaded Maps with what3words extension (version 1.3.2) into Chrome Version 88.0.4324.104 (Official Build) (64-bit) on Windows 10. All I get when I tried to use it is a popup box asking me to choose the language. The popup selection list defaults to English, but there is no way to complete the action for the language selection. Going into the language selection box and typing "return" does nothing. There is no button or other means of "completing the action" in the popup. A can't get past this, so the app is inaccessible. How do I get rid of this popup?
• (2020-07-08, v:1.3.2) Paul Gailey Alburquerque: language of the w3w overlay
  How can I set the language of the w3w values for the extension? it defaults to english and i wish to alter that to another language. how can i achieve that?
• (2020-06-19, v:1.3.2) Ian George: Information icon not giving what3words reference
  If you go to ///rocky.rift.verge, this will show the sun from the solar way but if you click on the information icon it does not show a reference. i don't know if this is a quirk or a fault! I am using the Chrome plugin with the latest version of Microsoft Edge browser.

• (2020-04-15, v:1.3.1) Iain Chester: I cannot make it work either
  I too use Chrome on a MacBook Air. I have downloaded the extension and installed it and the w3w icon appears in the top RH corner of the Chrome bar. But it just will not accept any w3w address at all.
• (2020-04-07, v:1.3.1) Bill Todd: I can't make it work
