What3words tools is a plugin for QGIS that brings the functionality of the what3words API to the QGIS platform. You can use the plugin to convert from coordinates to 3 word addresses by adding a field to a shapefile as well as searching for 3 word addresses or inspecting the map to view the 3 word address for a location.
The What3words tools plugin is currently available in the QGIS Plugins server. You can download or install it directly into your QGIS map. Or you can install the latest version, using the release page, then open the QGIS Plugin manager and install the downloaded zip file.
This plugin is compatible with QGIS v3 or later.
