I understand the basic concept, ie dividing the planet up into small squares, each with a unique reference, but surely somehow you need to know the 3 words involved in order to find that precise location? And if you know the location to begin with, through eg Google Earth/apple maps etc, does it not become a bit redundant? If you’re in trouble somewhere and actually have a connection to the web/GPS, then surely a decent enough OS/map reference would suffice?
I’m not 5 but still confused! Thanks…

I think it’s meant to find a specific location (again) that doesn’t have an adress. Like “where did I park my car in this huge parking lot”, or “where in this festival camping ground was my tent” or “Where was my nice spot around that lake”
So kinda a niche application in most cases
