In the UK we have a Postcode + DPS (Delivery Point Suffix) which does uniquely identify a delivery point (door fronts of a house with a letterbox usually) There's also a UDPRN which is another unique key (Unique Delivery Point Reference Number) which corresponds to a record in the Royal Mail's PAF (Postal Address File) database 🤓

"what3words is used by over 85% of the UK’s Police, Ambulance and Fire services, and has become a valuable and trusted tool in the emergency response toolkit. The technology has been used in thousands of situations, from reporting fires and rescuing pets to locating callers mid-heart attack with pinpoint accuracy. Last year, Joe Mason called the ambulance from the side of the motorway while his father was having a heart attack in the car. After providing his what3words address, the ambulance arrived in a matter of minutes, saving his father from what could have been a fatal heart attack. Mikey Hutton, who was located via what3words after falling 15ft down a cliff, said ‘it’s amazing that such a simple thing saved me from almost certain death.’"

What3words is something that is used more and more in the UK, especially by emergency services.
