What are the negatives of what3words?

What is the difference between what3words and Google Maps?
What3words uses a satellite map for users to make it easy to use and understand. It is not a Google Maps rival as it will not help you with navigation to any particular address.
Does what3words work with no signal?

You can also navigate to it using compass mode. To share a what3words address over the phone or in a text message you need phone signal.
Does Google Maps accept what3words?
