When you're out on the water or hiking in a remote area, trying to describe exactly where you are can be nearly impossible.

What3Words is a free app that has divided the entire globe into a grid of 3-by-3 meter squares. Each square, roughly the size of a parking space, has been assigned a unique combination of three random words. For example, one square in the middle of a lake might be labeled “paddle.corner.echo,” while the next square a few feet away could be “buckets.ride.dream.” If you need help, you can open the app and instantly get your three-word location. Send those words in a text to anyone. They don't need the app to view it. The link will open in Google Maps and show your exact location. If you're near a road or a shoreline, they'll even get turn-by-turn directions. If you're farther out, like in the ocean or a national park, they'll see your GPS coordinates, exactly what emergency responders need to find you quickly.

Summer officially begins this weekend, and much of the country is already dealing with soaring temperatures.

Most of us know not to leave a smartphone sitting in a hot car or baking on a poolside table.

One of the most common overheating scenarios happens during summer travel.

If you’re familiar with Letterboxd for movies or Goodreads for books, the concept will feel familiar.

This year, Walmart, Target, and Best Buy are all running competing summer sales, turning Prime Day into something that looks a lot like Black Friday in June.

Amazon Prime Day has gotten so big that it's no longer just an Amazon event.

Few things are better than meeting up with a friend for coffee, a walk, or just a few minutes to catch up.
