Paste into the what3words app’s search bar to find this location.
Google Maps opens only when you tap. Maps then receives this latitude and longitude. Fibre Finder does not use a network connection to convert, does not request your location, and does not keep a history of joints.

Tap Copy for what3words. Open the what3words app, paste into search, and select the result. The button copies the numbers. It does not open what3words.
Converted on this phone with OSTN15, from British National Grid (OSGB36, EPSG:27700) to ETRS89. These are the figures a Maps button sends. ETRS89 and the WGS84 position used by Google Maps can differ by about 1–2 metres in Britain. Use this to drive and walk to the joint. It is not exact enough to choose a 3 metre what3words square, and typing a coordinate here does not make the job pack or ORION figure more accurate.
