How do you use the three-letter coordinate system? I can't remember what video I saw Mike mention it, but I have looked on this site and cannot find any explanation. One you have a 3-word coordinate, how do you use it to find a campsite?

1. Find a spot on the map.
1.1 If it is an established spot with icon poke at the icon which will bring up the description including the three words
1.2 If it is not an established spot (no icon) poke and hold on the spot to bring up the description
2. In the description poke the three words, this will copy them to your clipboard
3. Poke the magnifying glass in the upper left corner of OB1
4. Paste the three word address into the search box
5. Choose the location that shows up below the search box.

FYI - this is called What Three Words and is not OB1 specific.
