[Magdalen] Easter services

[Roger Stokes]

When I am heading to somewhere I don't know I generally use SatNav (GPS 
in US speak). As many of you know I have driven round much of the lower 
48 and found it invaluable. The model I got in 2013 for my first US road 
trip (and which I still use) tells you which lane to be in when 
approaching an intersection which is also useful.

There is also a useful app you can put on your phone and access from a 
computer. It's called what3words and divides the world into 10ft squares 
giving a three word reference to each one. Obviously this is very 
helpful in rural areas where there aren't street addresses. My son tells 
me that a lot of the farmers around him use it to dell fuel delivery 
drivers where the tank is and I used it with him last week to identify 
the house he expects to move to in a month or two once it is ready and 
he has cleared his craft barn. If you go to 
https://w3w.co/sulk.held.raves you will find a well-known landmark. I 
don't know how they determine the words they use for each square but the 
door I normally use for my apartment is https://w3w.co/ranks.plus.chain. 
It will also link seamlessly to give you directions.
