- “Street addresses don't always point to precise locations. what3words has given every 3m square in the world a unique 3 word address. The words are randomly assigned to each square and will always stay the same. Now it’s easy to find and share any location with just three words”.
- Example: what3words "tropen.helfer.mangels" ( = Jakob-Kaiser-Straße 24, 33615 Bielefeld ).

- How to become superuser: Experts told me, that it is important to write “good valuable tips”, and that it is less important or even not important at all to have many “followers”.
- User experience:
- In opposite to Google-Maps, where you see “all” shops and restaurants instantly, with FoureSquare you must first enter a search item, e.g. “breakfast” and a location. If you move outside the location, a “search” button appears. Sales point which don´t meet the search critera, are not displayed.
- It is important to invest time to add “Tastes” at Foursquare "Add Tastes", to get proper search results. E.g. “You have 12 tastes. Add tastes to personalize your search results”.
- With the Fouresquare app, the language of the app is the system language. E.g. if you set the system language to English, you must enter English keywords, e.g. “breakfast”, no way that Fouresquare finds proper results if you try to search by a German keyword ( e.g. “Frühstück” )
- With the Fouresquare website, the language is always English.

Paper Maps and Digital Maps for Bicycle Tourists
- BVA BikeMedia GmbH ( formerly: BVA Bielefelder Verlag GmbH & Co. KG, now part of Gundlach Holding GmbH ).
- The commercial fahrrad-buecher-karten.de by BVA BikeMedia GmbH - “Deutschlands beliebteste Radkarten”, “Radwanderkarten und Radreiseliteratur”.
- The commercial Garmin "Freizeit- und Wanderkarten".
- The commercial Komoot.COM, Komoot.DE - “Der beste Routenplaner für Wanderer und Radfahrer”.
- Experts told me:
- This app, though for wanderers & bicycle drivers, is used to plan the routes for busses, serving rail replacement service ( “Schienenersatzverkehr” ). The USP is that planned routes may be exported and transfered to other devices. Each device needs a commercial license, of course. But as the routes are for wanderers and bicycle drivers, sometimes the generated routes can't be driven by busses .

- Stadt Paderborn "Auskunfts- u. Informationssystem Starkregen (AIS) Paderborn" - “Bei einem Starkregenereignis besteht die Gefahr, dass Straßen und Grundstücke überflutet sowie Tiefgaragen und Keller geflutet werden. Um die unterschiedliche Überflutungsgefährdung im Stadtgebiet Paderborn anschaulich darzustellen, wurden im Auftrag der Stadt Paderborn Starkregengefahrenkarten durch die Dr. Pecher AG, Erkrath erstellt und in einem „Auskunfts- und Informationssystem Starkregen“ (AIS) visualisiert. Im AIS werden u.a. die Überflutungsausdehnungen und -tiefen sowie Fließgeschwindigkeiten und -richtungen bei unterschiedlichen Starkregenintensitäten dargestellt”.

- “However, positioning technology marches on. With the dawning of a high accuracy Global Positioning System (GPS) in the early 1990s, Loran-C slowly became antiquated and finally the USCG took Loran-C transmitting stations offline in 2010. With no Loran-C signal, Coast Survey followed suit and began to eliminate Loran-C lattices from nautical charts. Most charting customers welcomed the removal of the busy lattices from the chart as it made the chart more readable”.
- “So why do some people still want nautical charts with a Loran-C lattice? Prior to GPS, many fishermen and commercial diving operations did not use a true latitude and longitude (Lat/Lon) geographic coordinate system to position their offshore features. They identified their favorite fishing or diving locations by Loran-C time delay coordinates. When Loran-C lattices were removed from NOAA charts, many fishermen were left with Loran-C coordinates that had no corresponding Lat/Lon. Therefore, they did not have a way of plotting their Loran-C coordinates on current charts”.
