Love the show!
A very useful location app to use is “what3words”. Used off-line, to communicate non-addressed locations, use words rather than gps numbers. Name / find an exact location, doorway or trail-marker, or add it to photos. Used around the globe for search and rescue; Some Canadian gov’t organizations have adopted it in 2020.
