The names seem apt, we have cabbages in our veg. plot, practical in the workshop and gourmet in the lambing barn!

Have placed on my Facebook page https://www.facebook.com/Livestocktrucks Perhaps we can now drop animals at specific gateways without fag packet directions too.............

I also think your farm co-ordinates AND what3words should be in your ICE stored on your mobile. I have recommended Suffolk Fire and Rescue Service adopt too

That's really kind indeed. Pleased that you like it so much

The ICE in mobiles has always puzzled me. Most phones are locked and opened by a code So how does the emergency services access your ICE numbers ?

That's probably true these days but I have come across one road collision about a year ago whereby someone was well enough to tell me their mobile keypad lock number and I rang his Father for him (stored under ICE)

I think it just as relevant for folks responding to a 9m2 locator especially in remote areas

Only yesterday I was on a 999 call (2nd on the scene of a fatal RTC, not a pretty sight) trying to explain exactly where it was. As I lived half a mile away, I knew the name of the farm we were near, I knew the B-road number, I knew how far it was out of town and how far to the next village but they still struggled to pinpoint it on the phone as they wanted a street name and a village, not open countryside.

One field comes up in part as unsightly hairstyle and another is returns pigs! Personalised or what?

What huge fun, haven't decided which one to pick yet, there are several.

Almost as much of a time absorber as flightradar24 - go on, type it in the search engine.

This is a superb idea, I can see it being used across the globe; and good luck to the chaps who started it. (Make sure you have it bound up legally or the Chinese or Yanks will have it out from under you!)

I understand the same thing happened with the Hillsborough episode. The emergency call centre had to have a street name to enter into the computer but callers only knew the stadium name.

Can someone step me through this website as I can't seem to get anywhere with it?

 

[Danllan]

Go to main page, click on Explore Map, use finger and thumb to squeeze down the map and then finger to move map around until the pin is over your chosen location, expand again. Give it a moment and the three-word-code for that site will come up on the red bar below.

@cjrsheldrick

There is a confusing bar which obscures the search bar until you close it.

Maybe this needs to be removed.

There seems to be an issue with the site being confusing,maybe it needs to be tweaked.

Thanks and keen to understand more - please can you send a screenshot to [email protected] for us to take a look ?

Why do I have to use my email address as a user name?

I have a rather long email address. I've had it for a long time and as it's used in so many things, it's not practical to change it. I would much prefer to be able to have a short user name. TFF doesn't require me to log in with my email address.

 

[Nick.]

I think it's a brilliant idea.
I can't seem to change the map to satellite though. Any ideas ?

 

[joe soapy]

Question, does the app automatically take you to current location?

 

[7610 super q]

WTF is this all about?

I've just tried it for the first time on my phone, and it's showing my current location, and where I dropped a pin on my iPad.

@cjrsheldrick This is one of the most brilliant things I've ever seen.
When Bill Gates calls to ask you if you could lend him a few bob remember us poor sods.
