This extension works with some limitations: Clicking on your map only pops up coordinates if Google doesn't pick up your click itself to select a venue, a business, a house, any point of interest, really. So if you click in an open field or the middle of the road, you will get the small black pin and the small window with w3w coordinates (and lat/long).

You may need to do last step a couple of times to get ///.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION: This ONLY works if you include a space between "///" and your what3words. WHY ISN'T THIS MENTIONED AT ANY POINT?! (NB On the what3words website, they themselves are inconsistent, and some addresses contain a space, and some don't. GAH!)

Seems based on the older comments the developer has abandoned this project and is not providing support. Does not work, period! Extension is stuck on asking me to select a language. Don't waste your time. Bummer I was looking forward to trying this out.

Not doing anything, just pops up the language selection and does not show any what3words information.
