Displaying a 3 word address
- The 3 words address can be entered into an existing field or as it’s own independent field.
- The words in a 3 word address should always be separated by a full stop (‘.’), please don’t use spaces or commas. There are exceptions for other scripts.
- what3words should feel native to your app or website, so we recommend using your existing styling and typography. You can show our slashes ‘///’ in red ( #E11F26 ) or use your primary colour.
- If displaying a 3 word address in a secondary language, you only need to display the slashes once. This is so users understand that they both refer to the same address.
Entering a 3 word address
- A user should be able to enter a 3 word address with or without the ‘///’ at the beginning
AutoSuggest
- Once the user has entered the first letter of the 3rd word the autosuggest feature should be displayed
- For simplicity, we recommend only displaying 3 suggested results
- Every address should be accompanied by it’s nearest location.
