Riders can now enter what3words addresses into Otaxi app to get precise locations.

Otaxi is proud to announce a new partnership with What3Words, the location technology company disrupting the way that people get around. The groundbreaking partnership will enable otaxi guests to enter a what3words address for their Pick-up and drop-off locations.

what3words is an easy way to identify precise locations. Every 3m square has been given a unique combination of three words: a what3words address. So, for example, if you were visiting Otaxi office, you could simply type ///bottling. circulate. singed to get directions to its entrance, instead of its address. Therefore, moving around Oman will be simpler than ever and drivers will no longer have to waste time searching for the correct locations. Whether it’s a specific door, shopping mall entrance, street corner or park gate, Otaxi guests can enter what3words addresses to enable the fastest possible route planning.

“Otaxi is providing an incredible service to Oman. It’s affordable, convenient and professional. The addition of what3words will now make that experience even better, as guests will know they’re arriving at precisely the correct location” adds Chris Sheldrick, CEO and co-founder of what3words.

‘We are delighted to have an alliance with what3words, a location technology that will improve the experience for both Otaxi guests and drivers, while helping the business drive efficiency’– said Harith Al Mqbali, CEO. Otaxi
