In October 2019 I announced !W3W, a simple converter from the w3w
format to latitude/longitude with the ability to open a map in RiscOSM
or to launch it via Uniserve on a Windows machine.

Additionally, GPX files saved from a RiscOSM pin definition will open
in !W3W. That is, if you position a pin on a map in RiscOSM, over
Bill's mum's house say, and then export that pin definition to your
machine (I use Memphis) you can then drag that file to either the W3W
icon bar icon or the main window. The appropriate 3 words and other information will then appear in the window. The next version of the
program should permit direct drags once the programmer gets his head
around how that works.

While working on the program this evening I have found that only pins
produced and exported from RiscOSM in the following way work at the
moment:

In RiscOSM place a new pin on a map using the pin tool.
<Menu> over the pin. Follow Pin nn 'Placename...'>Export>GPX>Save.

Pins which result from a 'New Map' search in RiscOSM cause W3W for RISC
OS to freeze.

NOTE: This is entirely due to a naive assumption I made about the content
of GPX files; it does not in any way reflect on the operation of RiscOSM.

Also in the pipeline is saving the output data to a text file (see the 'direct dragging' caveat) [2]

The program can be downladed from https://www.bjordan.org.uk/software/w3w_2-01.zip

Enjoy! (As the young people keep saying to me)
